Bro Accept the reality, people don't want to work at your company. Urban customers rejected your product then you entered the village market to fool them.

[ashishkumar]

"We are not insensitive idiots". This had me laughing. Byjus is the hub for insensitive demons actually. 🤣🤣🤣

[rahulsudhakaran]

Byju - Your company is unethical. Your company has looted poor people’s money. God will teach you a lesson one day!

[parthsharma]

He actually said nothing. Thereby hilariously accepting every allegation made against him

[tradersquest]

I boycott byjuss as the scammed poor parents...!

[KalpeshSingh]

First of all you can't plan lay off in 5 days.

[dibyaranjan]

Mark my word. You will go bankrupt by the way doing business currently.

[srikanthsarjanaa]

He is sponsoring Messi with student money, shame on him

[manojkumargujju]

Messi should start teaching online classes.

[nir_maj]

Bijyu's is allegedly looting innocent people in broad daylight and that is their roadmap for the growth and development of this company. Should be shut down.

[shrikarmukesh]

He has money to sponsor Messi
Not having money to give employee salary.
Laid off many employees and now he is arguing 😅

[Ami]

Inshort what I understand from these words is after giving money to Messi they realise they are out of money for their employees for upcoming year. Isn't that Visionary.😌

[samantonyk]

I urge everyone to send their kids to Byjus for atleast 2 months, so that they can handle all insensitive, selfish, greedy, pathetic ppl of the world.

[debadiptadas]

His rude tone in answering is enough to understand the mess Byju is in right now😑.
He was 100 times better as a teacher in Byjus initial years. Now he is nothing but an arrogant businessman

[CatharineKaroline]

This is total scam. They will tell they will refund the money if we don’t like the course. But if you initiate the cancellation they will drag and pull you till your cancellation period gets over. Then they will tell you your time limit is over we can’t cancel the course. You have to continue the course. So people don’t fall for their words. This is total scam

[pranaxedm]

What arrogance 😅
He is saying this after ruining so mamy people's lives

[fridge_magnet]

I knew him from 2007-2008. Some of my friends attended his quant classes. Excellent teacher and was easily making multiple crores an year. He would have naturally grown to few hundred crores business. Instead they made a mistake of chasing VC money.

[yashrohansingh]

Instead of actually accepting fraudulent ways of hiring and sales marketing he is actually giving reasons why they do. Build a better product, no amount of sales can help it grow.

[Ak-tqzt]

Worst worst company to work.... That's what ex employee says all time.

[curious]

Its like a theif saying i did not steal.
