IIT graduate Abhishek Ashish, who worked as a software engineer at the company since June 2022, was also among the employees laid off.

Ashish is now seeking a new job and has turned to LinkedIn for job opportunities. Byju’s layoffs come amidst layoffs by big tech companies like Google, Meta, Twitter, and others.
