Scam called AstroTalk - BYJUs 2.0

What made it worst? The pay, the culture, or your manager?

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.

"she was obsessed with her own celebrity, doing little to stem the slide" They would never say this about a man. It's a woman, somehow make it about her being hungry for fame. Typical. Do not support anything that Byju's cofounders did. But this is shameful too. Not befitting.

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.

Astrotalk after funding

Except my name and designation

I am Thankful to the funding winter it has revealed true colors of so called Founders, who would not stop talking about culture, Growth, scale etc on Twitter and LinkedIn Take Byjus, for instance, they claim to be revolutionizing education, it's all a facade! All they care about is squeezing every penny out of parents' pockets. Putting large amount of people in debts they didn’t even signup for. And let's talk about Dukaan, shall we? The absolute 🤡 of a founder with zero empathy( 90% staff laidoff and the guts to project it as some AI ML innovation) These startup founders have lost touch with reality. They've become obsessed with valuation and funding rounds, completely forgetting the essence of why they started in the first place. It's all about becoming the next "unicorn" and impressing investors, while the customers and sellers are left in the dust. Gone are the days of genuine innovation and passion for solving real-world problems. It's all about the money now, and they don't care who gets hurt along the way. The startup ecosystem has become a rat race, with everyone trying to outdo each other and sacrificing ethics and integrity in the process. It's sad to see the true colors of these startup founders shining through, and it's high time we demand more transparency, accountability, and genuine value from these so-called "disruptors." Enough with the facade, At the end all these founders will get an exit with generational wealth, the employee and people who have built it will be left in Dust. My laanat to all such founders and company. May the boat sink and hopefully someday we have accountability in place for these people.
