My name is Haris Farrasi. I’m the CEO and founder of Plajar, built as an answer to the failures of Edtech 1.0. The dirty secret is that most platforms never cared if people actually learned: Duolingo became a $14B giant but most users still can’t hold a basic conversation. Masterclass sells inspiration without mastery. Coursera and Udemy reached millions, yet video courses average only 4–10 percent completion. Creator platforms scaled quickly but too often optimized for sales over outcomes. Engagement grew, but learning did not. Plajar is my response: building Edtech 2.0, where education delivers real outcomes with high engagement, and where learning feels less like consuming content and more like a multiplayer system: people learning, building, and advancing together. The world is entering the largest reskilling and upskilling demand in modern history, and old tools will not be enough.
The long-term vision is to create the operating system of civilization that makes mastery across every field from the oldest sciences to the newest skills not only possible, but faster, fairer, and massively scalable. Education is the first proof point: if we can redesign how knowledge is mastered, we can redesign how every system that powers abundance works. My thesis is that true abundance can only be achieved through three pillars: cognitive intelligence (AI that thinks), physical intelligence (machines that act), and governance (the systems that align and distribute). Plajar is my immediate vehicle in this journey, but the larger direction is clear: building governance for universal abundance.
