- Bengaluru-based American entrepreneur Tony Klor filmed a roadside toppers board for X and said he could never have made it as a student in India.
- Klor, who founded Bandit Network, read out names and near‑99% scores, joked about “radio stations,” and captioned the clip, “These kids in India are too locked in.”
- The video went viral and commenters said even 99% often does not secure a seat in tier‑1 colleges.
