    As an ex-byju's employee who never did any sales, I understand what those parents might be thinking now. Everyone talks about the marketing, the sales and other things. But no one actually talks about post-sales support. We had thousands of students to contact and honestly, there was never enough manpower where we could provide a proper post-sales support. Not to mention that there were false promises from the sales reps as well. We were overworked and underpaid on literally every other turn tbh. The parents' outburst is always a reality to the mentors and the product experts. Not to mention, the lies about refund policy changed almost every day for every other customer. If a parent invests 1 lakh rupees for their child's education, then it is normal for them to have outbursts.
    I totally agree with Akash here. And I have no sympathy with Byju's as a company. It's shutting down rightly, and for good

    It's nothing else than "KARMA". When I was in my second year of MBA, byju's offered me a job with the position of "Regional Operations head". After inquiring about the role several times I was assured that it will be related to "Operations" and not sales or marketing. After joining I was abused for not meeting the targets, my salary which was 14LPA, barely I received 40k. Every week My team used to change and I wasn't even aware of whom I shall be reporting to. Total Chaos at Mumbai branch. The Interns would spend their own money for petrol and visit different places to meet potential customers. They were unpaid and overworked Like hell.
    Shame on Byju's for treating employees like this.
    I lost my chance for a better placement as i wasn't allowed to sit for placements further because I had byju's offer.

      As a student, I disagree. In my coaching, teachers are iitians, so I can say I get taught by one of the finest faculty. Now, coming to the point.
      Schools are useless for studies, and coaching is fine but not as good as online studies and books. Why should we study from some teachers who don't have any achievements, lack funding and skills. The finest teachers and professors are available online. Also our education system is fked up(I scored 97 percent in 10th, so don't say I am blaming education system bcz I am not good in studies)
      In conclusion u guys are useless(talking about avg teachers especially the teachers who teach in school), no hate towards anyone. I am just stating the facts.

    During my JEE preparation, I once visited that company's site and logged in with my number. Subsequently, numerous calls were made by the counselor, urging me to enroll in their coaching. After a half-hour phone call, I politely said I would consider it, but when he called again later, I declined admission. In response, he verbally abused me and my family, prompting me to end the call. Karma has its way, and I took admission in pw coaching,I'm delighted to share that I secured admission to my dream college, IIT Madras, pursuing mechanical engineering in my second year.

    All they did is cheat,and it starts from the very fact that i was recruited as a Business Development Executive (meaning sales person), but they disguised me as an Education Counselor (a teacher),
    I can remember how verbally abusive they were,
    I am Happy i made no sales, i did not put much effort as i was planning to resign sooner the possible,
    The saddest part is i remember the managers used to narrate boasting stories about how they sold byju's packages of lakhs to poor through loans disguised as scholarship fee's to households where they could hardly afford food.
    I can never believe the top level management didn't know about these practices as they were prevalent and consistent PAN India.

    Parents are willing to put their child in coching center as early as possible so that their ward can get rank 1..
    I have seen parents crying even if child is getting like 99 pc marks
    Indian parnets don't want to see any other child to do better than their child
    Thats where byjus come in..a dream product which ensure guaranteed academic sucess..
    Thats what parents wanted. ..byjus is just supplying what is in demand..

      Literally. when I signed up for the byjus app, they started calling my parents and eventually came to my house. He asked me to take a test, which was from the next grade, I was in then, he tried to show me dumb in front of my parents and I started crying when my answers were wrong. I did my best , after that he pressured my parents to sign up, but my mother didn't signed up rather my aunt did (later she blamed me that because of me she fell into the trap). It didn't even end there, they called my mother everytime I loged in and even after denying and blocking they called from different numbers.

    In 2007 Byju came to my college, I was not interested to attend but my friend dragged me for company , he was excellent in CAT maths , there were hardly 20 ppl in the session , at that time Byju shared his personal phone number.
    I called him later and he was very humble to invite me again at VJTI college for another session. I finally thought MBA is not my stuff and decided to not go further. So I agree this video is absolutely accurate
    If byju would have stuck to CAT and teaching personally, he would have been tremendously successfull and easily retired by 35-40 with maybe 300 crores, but maybe he had big dreams which unfortunately did not materialise

    I am a 2018 Byju’s employee. Here’s the inside story. When I started working there, the salary given to a fresher is obviously appealing. Which obviously attracts a person. Working there for a few months gave me a realisation that how toxic the environment was. I have never been abused but I’ve heard other employees get abused. Also, incidents like an associate slapping his manager and resigning in front of the whole office was also seen.
    When it comes to content, my unbiased opinion is that it is genuinely very good. But it was way too overpriced. 30000 for a year is too much. Being an indian kid myself, no matter how good the Online content, I would only sit for studies if there was someone standing over my head. That’s why our parents used to send us to tuitions. I was good at studies yet reasons for sending me were entirely different. I think this is where Byju’s model lack. They expected their online learning to actually replace school learning. It can’t even replace tuitions..
    Both these reasons combined, I decided to leave the organisation and join a university’s marketing even though I would be getting a comparatively lower pay grade. In my interview, the reason I gave for leaving byju’s was that this model is online ed and it can’t run in india for long. Which was a very valid reason. But then Covid came, and any logical person can make out how the inevitable for byjus got delayed. Infact their sales revenue just rocketed sky high. But I knew it was bound to fall.
    At last, I think the only chance of survival for byju’s is their smart decision of acquiring Aakash institute. However, they will have to let go of their ego of online model and just make it a part of offline learning at a reasonable price.

      Agreed 👍. Exactly my thoughts. And I think we Indians are so result oriented because of our historical poverty. When you are poor, you start looking at things in a very transactional way - “If I do this, I get this”. You can’t afford to do something just for the heck of it. You are forced to focus on the outcome alone. Short term thinking (I.e. surviving for today) becomes your second nature. To adhere to a process and shift attention away from the outcome, needs long term thinking. That is something we don’t have…sadly.

    I remember when i went to my college 2 years after graduation (during the pandemic) and met with a junior who got placed at Byju. He was flaunting about his "great fresher package" to me with a sense of proud smugness on his face, that too for a Non-IT role (he said he rejected the offer from Infosys and took this, cz of cash). I said to him, i am very content with the developer role & the company i am working with at the time.
    Just soon after that i heard Byju's were hiring people for "marketing calls" than actual IT related work - which i realized what he said he would be working as. Then i heard about the harrasment calls from Byju employees to customers and the horrible bosses they had. I hope he escaped that fate!

    It’s not just limited to Byjus, there are many EdTech companies like Upgrad who cheat their students to the core. I’m one of the Upgrad students. I joined a course and the fees was 3 lakhs. They guaranteed placement, they said companies will be running behind me. There are more than 600 students in my batch alone. The course is over in October and whenever we ask for placement, they say it will start by next month. So far we 600+ students are convinced that nothing is going to happen.
    Just from my batch alone Upgrad made 18Cr (600*300000). Like that there are 100s of courses and every month they start new batches.
    The same course which I did for 3 lakhs is available for 70 thousand in another learning company.
    I lost my money and one year. Majority of the EdTech companies are fraud and cheat.

    As a former employee of Whitehat, I have seen the rise of Whitehat Jr as a company, the sale to Byju's and the subsequent decline. The employees and customers suffered the most as the perks were cut down immediately after Byjus acquired the firm. New courses were rolled out without a proper roadmap. What used to be a Coding firm was now teaching Music to adults without keeping in mind the age group we are catering to. All this, along with the lay offs of thousands of teachers created an abysmal environment with the customers as their kids were going through multiple teacher changes within a span of few months and the refund requests went to an all time high. At the end, it's Byju's themselves who are responsible for their downfall!

    The reason why Ed-Tech industry is doomed to fail is because they set lofty goals for themselves. They want to replace learning from a Blackboard, Book offline model to Tablet, computer Online model. There are plenty of drawbacks with learning from Tablets: 1) Lack of Supervision. 2) Attention span 3) Absence of Study Environment, all which play key roles which goes unnoticed.
    The most Ed-Tech can achieve is act as a support and an add-on for existing Whiteboard Offline mode, so that students can learn and understand well rather than outright replace Offline mode of learning.
    Byju's finally took the right steps when it brought Aakash, but it was too late and at a very heavy price. Sad.

    Zooming out - It's sad to see how an entrepreneur is failing, who at one time was known for his quality teaching. It's not the first time when greedy investors having unrealistic expectations put immense pressure on founders to tank the company. Great institutions/relationships take patience & time to build. Else what goes up quickly, falls to the ground in a blink.

      You are absolving the founder/entrepreneur of all the blame and putting it all on the investors only. I wouldn’t agree with that. A good entrepreneur would know when to approach investors and when not to. That is where his character gets tested.
      Typically, when you approach investors, you are expected to grow quickly and make profits for the investors.
      Byju had the option to stop seeking investor’s money a few years back. Focus on the fundamentals of the business (i.e. great learning content), have a specific target market (say, CAT exams or only competitive exams etc) and grow slowly and steadily…This was an option available to him. But he chose the fast lane - take investors money, grow inorganically by mindlessly acquiring companies, focus on everybody - kindergarten to UPSC to coding…. And he failed. If you try to become relevant for everyone, you will end up being relevant for no one.
      Ultimately, the investors did not hand Byju the money with a gun pointed at his head.
