Last year, Ajay (name changed), an employee at the beleaguered edtech giant Byju's, purchased a house in Mumbai for over 1 crore as a gift for his parents. He took a loan of about 75 lakh from a bank on EMI (equated monthly installment). However, a few months after the deal, Byju's handed him the pink slip.
He had to sell off his property at a lower price last year and relocate to his previous accommodation at a chawl.
"It was a middle-class boy's dream to gift a home to his parents and get them out of the chawl in Mumbai," said Ajay.
