What's wrong with BYJU's? Everything.

The offline coaching industry in India is one of the most profitable and lucrative businesses so why does Edtech giants like Byju's, unacademy fail to replicate the in profitability terms.

First the audit report got delayed. Now they’ve reported a loss of over 4.5k cr. And I believe they’re like a mothership of edtech, if they gone down then the entire category goes down from an investment perspective

Apart from unethical sales practices, toxic work culture and mindless accusations, what do you think went wring with Byju’s.

After fooling countless customers, investors, loan partners, byjus employees are now all set to destroy what little is left to Unacademy. Unacademy is now frantically hiring people from BYJUs across all levels and verticals. With BYJUs employees employment stood on the base of false promises and unethical sales, it is just a matter of time, Unacademy will become the new BYJUs. With the company’s product first approach and the apprehension towards aggressive selling, it is disheartening to see the new fondness towards BYJUs.

To all the people who blindly criticize the product, I think product is good. You should look into some videos on how science concepts are explained by Byjus Team on YouTube ROI- Cost of Byjus is about Rs 15 a Day, or about Rs 1600 per month..( Rs80,000 course of 5 years) Education as per UN as the highest ROI compared to any other investment. Bring up your questions and blind criticism. Remember if Byjus fails startup ecosystem will break down.

I hear tales about how at their peak, BYJU's used to deal with investors. They would not share financials. If you wanted to invest, they'd ask you to come down to office, and only for that time, see whatever you want to see. Investors obliged. It was the shining star of Edtech India, nobody wanted to miss out. Now those same investors are ousting the founder, fair enough. But I hope enough people look back and realize they created the problem. They allowed it to exist.

This in addition to all the cricket sponsorship. And then getting Messi as an ambassador. All of this happened not so long back, and now the company is down to a 1 Billion dollar valuation. What was the meaning of all of this? How was this allowed to happen. There needs to be a documentary soon on Byjus.
