Raveendran back in charge of daily ops
BYJU'S INDIA CHIEF executive officer (CEO) Arjun Mohan resigned on Monday, just seven months after assuming charge. Mohan had joined the troubled edtech major for the second time in July 2023 to head its international business and was made the India CEO in September.
In a statement, Byju's said founder and group CEO Byju Raveendran will now take direct charge of the company's day-to-day affairs.
According to industry sources, Mohan was hopeful of landing the top job at Aakash, a role which last week went to former Pearson India managing director Deepak Mehrotra. With reduced business in Byju's and no role in Aakash, Mohan decided to look for other opportunities, the sources said.
THE BYJU'S STATEMENT said Mohan will now take up an external advisory role, lending his deep edtech expertise to the company and its founders during its transformation phase.
"Arjun has done an outstanding job steering Byju's through a challenging period.
