This is an interesting trend fully driven by VCs/board

The negativity brigade is out in full force against Unacademy lately. Honestly watching this relentless media agenda against us is like watching a bad tv show. As someone who's part of the team, I want to set the record straight. First off, Gaurav Munjal is the smartest, visionary entrepreneur in the country. He's basically a genius. Like a legend, truly amazing! My observation is that people who are throwing a shade have never built a startup themselves or have never led anything more complex than a lemonade stand. They are simply jealous of Gaurav's awesome success. Meanwhile, legends like Bhavish and BeerBiceps are cheering Gaurav on. Coincidence? I think not! Oh and layoffs! Every company does it – it's just business 101. Times are tough - stop whining and smell the coffee. This isn't a reason to target Gaurav. I see a lot of snowflake work-lifers who only want to work from 9 to 9 for 5 days. We did indulge you, didn't we? If you really don't want to be "laid off", what is stopping you from doing great work? Even better - why don't you start your own company and keep this stupid to 9-9-5 policy and "not lay off" these work-lifers who are a burden on your company? Let's focus on constructive support and recognize the efforts of those truly making a difference.

Unacademy will be laying off 30% of its workforce this week. The list of people who will be laid off has been finalised and received signoff from Gaurav & Roman. Sad State of Affairs.

Though in all probability, what you've already heard is true.
