Although if someone else is facing this problem then you can click on the information icon and tap on 'don't show me this ad again', it works for a while.
To all A0s and law students who want to know what goes on at a Big 6 firm - People like AshRay and the upvoters of his comments always judge you [...] They also make snarky comments. Does it matter? I don't know. But, that's life.
Have you even seen the advertisement? I highly doubt it. [...]
I obviously did not intend to insult the guy, my objective was merely to portray the distress it might be causing for an individual who has nothing to do with a C-O-R-P-O-R-A-T-E job but still he has to deal with this.
And the major issue is that it's not his original accent, he tries to speak as slowly as possible making everyone vowel sound x2. If you see his other videos, he is obviously fine but I'm just pointing out the accent in the advert which makes it cringe.
And yeah, you're woke :)
1.1.1 may or may not be woke, but you are for sure cringe.
Regarding OP, the co-founder's Twitter bio seems to state "USD 5m+ annual rev."
The students and alumni of NLUs pretend to be woke, yet their real elitist nature comes to the surface through comments like these. Making fun of people's accents is a form of casteism practised by liberal elites of NLUs. It's the same reason why Narendra Modi makes them Lutyens elites uncomfortable. Similarly, Ramanuj and LawSikho are detested for being non-elites challenging the elites of NLUs.
You guys just proved Ramanuj right.

But Ramanuj, as much as I dislike him, has pulled himself up by his bootstraps and made a successful business. He does not deserve to be bullied because of his accents or ads. He knows his audience and he caters to them.
Lawyers would do well to learn from him. Being bougie can cost you clients for today's rich people aren't bougie.
What they say is not that unique too, [...]
The business model is to spend aggressively on marketing on all platforms, take in a huge number of students and get them to spend money on courses. [...]
All they do is work like an extension to the education industry in general [...]
[...] I have worked at these places during Covid.

π Running his own company without taking orders from a bania law firm owner.
πEarning several crores a year, much more than law firm partners and GCs
π Having clients who are like fans and keep praising him on social media, instead of demanding in-house clients who pay little, demand a lot and show no gratitude
π[...]
The guy leads a life which many NLU grads aspire to, so they are jealous of him. What especially annoys the haters is that he is from a humble background and proudly speaks with a desi accent without being embarrassed. And on top of that he dumps on NLUs and exposes NLU grads as entitled people who are not really superior to TLC grads π
Ramanuj, hats off to you and keep doing what you are doing.
