Can you share the broad thing you do there? (Product/Sales/Growth) How is the culture at Byjus now? What makes you stay there?

I'm into Tech and we are solving some good engineering problems that's the sole reason for me to stay here.

Currently it's very less, it's close to 12-13%

This shows a really poor product market fit. How come company has decided to scale so much without a PMF? Also, what are the top reasons for non-renewal? Is the product not adding value?

Are the messed up sales practices (selling EMI based courses without knowledge of parents etc.) a structural problem at Byjus or is it more one-off?

It's not a structural program at Byjus but it is messed up by the sales team to meet their targets and they find it easy to convince poor parents from tier-2, tier-3 cities.

I guess this is a practice (selling EMI based course on loan under your name) across most of the edtech startups

Sorry for your disappointment, that's not going to happen anytime soon.

I can see that happening in the foreseeable future. A company built on the very foundation of lies, fraud and thuggery cannot survive for long.

SPAC was a zero interest rate phenomenon. It is dead now.
