SRK have much less role in Byju’s growth, it’s all about the analytics and marketing then the content.
If you install Byju’s, expect an In Person visit by Byju’s Sales Representative. That’s their core marketing.

From growing to 75 employees to scaling back and rebuilding, Yogev learned firsthand that the hardest part of leadership isn’t hiring fast, it’s making tough decisions with care, transparency, and integrity.
