It's been close to five months since employees received their salaries and no online classes are being conducted for about two months now. Sources told this newspaper that all offline centres (more than 200) have been closed and apart from a few online classes, majority of classes are not happening.
When Deepika Patel, 33, from Chhattisgarh, joined Byju's as a Biology tutor, the firm was considered to be the leading and most valuable start-up. She was recruited to teach in Raipur centre and her package was about ₹6.70 lakh. Within a few months, she started heading the centre, which had 120 students.
