The Rise of Predatory Online Coaching: A Cautionary Tale
Post COVID, the online space has seen a disturbing trend – the overprovision of self-proclaimed “coaches” and “gurus” peddling coaching courses with grandiose promises of wealth, success, and personal transformation.
The modus operandi is all too familiar: A seemingly innocuous Rs. 99 workshop baits you in, followed by a Rs. 15,000 “advanced” program that is little more than a sales pitch for a Rs. 5-6 lakh “life-changing” course. Relentless psychological pressure is employed to compel sign-ups. This ecosystem thrives on people’s vulnerabilities, dreams, and insecurities. It’s a vicious cycle of empty promises, inflated claims, and unregulated practices – all in pursuit of quick profits.
