Scaler lays off 20-25% of their workforce

Edtech layoffs still continuing? Teams were asked to strictly work from home for today because of plumbing work going on in the office. Roughly 300 people were laid off in a townhall hosted by the founders.

Ah damn that is big Scaler was truly one of the promising Edtech plays, I know there have been negative sentiments, but believe me they’re much better than Byjus and Unacademy Sad to see another one…

They spent more money on YouTube ads than making the company a better place. Now they will hire some more random actors to do their ads instead of teaching staff 😂.

I am one of employee effected with this layoff today morning. Just like any other day I tried to log in to slack and gmail but unable to do so and my colleague informed me that my slack is deactivated but then after few hours they have clearly informed me on a meet that I am laid off this is not because of my performance more like an issue with the company's financial situation and severance will be paid. End of the day its a sad thing for any employee to go through which will make them question their self worth. But they gave me closure instead of leaving me hanging for confirmation😕

I believe Edtech will see more such instances unfortunately in the near future. 99% ed-techs bloated themselves during the COVID period. This is not specific to ed-techs many other companies also did the same. These companies will let their staff go to control the bloating.

It’s probably a victim of collateral damage. There is no funding in EdTech currently and they hired engineers and instructors at very high salaries when there was. Just not sustainable anymore. I like the founder and some of the absolute amazing engineering talent they have like Naman Bhalla. I hope they survive🤞🏻

Feel really sad for the employees. But for peope saying Scaler isn't like other Edtechs, from my personal experience, it is the same. Their salespeople sell a lot of lies to convince you for the admisssion, which is one of the major reasons that Byjus became infamous for. They're probably also given insane sales targets which wouldn't be possible if they're being honest.
