On Instagram, Mukul Rustagi, co-founder of Classplus, shared a video recounting how he and his partner Bhaswat Agarwal snuck into Stanford.

He added, "We politely asked the professor if we could sit in, and luckily, he said yes! It was a finance class, and we ended up learning about valuation of acquisitions and mergers. Before leaving, we asked the professor if we could keep a marker as a souvenir, and he agreed. We still have that marker in our bag to this day!"
