## Resource

WhatsApp is rolling out usernames globally, marking one of the biggest changes to the messaging app in years. But the feature has also raised questions around privacy, impersonation and scams, with the Indian government reportedly reviewing the rollout. We explain what the new system means for users. Also in this episode, PhysicsWallah's latest incentive programme is encouraging newly hired teachers to do more than just teach—they could earn up to ₹15 lakh by referring top-performing JEE and NEET students.

Also, Virat Kohli-backed Agilitas is in talks to acquire Yuvraj Singh-backed Sports365, a move that could strengthen its ambitions in India's fast-growing sports retail market.
