A lot of noise inside unacademy around this news.
Apparently Gaurav will move aside and let Mrinal Step in and take over as CEO role to help Unacademy grow. This has been confirmed by senior folks from the Unacademy CEO's office team.
Edtech space is truly getting hot with each passing day. Official announcement later this week.
It can’t be true, Mrinal is not qualified enough as a CEO. He was byju’s student and joined byjus back in 2011. Byjus was smart and used him as a CEO of a company and gave his 5 students around him CXO roles and made a strong Dominance via these pawns in the board of directors . Mrinal was lucky he become a CEO when he’s only qualification was he was a student of byjus whos only option was to join byjus. Win Win for both of them. Mrinal will not find another byjus/munjal/screwala
This is confirmed news. Transition has begun. Already being communicated internally about this.
After successfully destroying Byju, he is here to lay the final nails in the coffin at Unacademy 😂
I pity the investors who gave them tons of money during covid
This is such absurd news and knowing GM, he would never bring anyone from CXO level from a competitor which is fairly badly to run a company where he has more skin in the came and expect him to turn things around.
Even if this was true for some god knows reason (which I don’t think it is) the dude will never be brought in at CEO level. Max a VP at best, but then again the buck stops with GM.
GM is getting fired. He has no decision making power now.
