The 20-Year-Olds Who Built a $10M Business Empire
Rudy Arora and Sarthak Dhawan quit college to run Turbo AI, a study app that makes more than $10 million a year, and students kept paying about $20 a month after ChatGPT started teaching for free. The opening is an app for one exam with a fixed date: a daily plan, a bank of practice questions and a price from day one.
