About this video

Shaan explores the trend of corporate universities—from Zoho’s internal university producing 15% of hires to McDonald’s Hamburger University—and proposes a business opportunity: a white-label service that builds and operates custom educational programs for corporations, similar to how third-party companies partner with universities to offer online degrees.
