About this episode
Over the course of a year or so, we’ve seen how one by one, the chances of Byju's survival have been narrowing down. However, there’s one thing that could possibly save it from falling apart: Aakash, the offline coaching chain that Byju’s had acquired in 2021 for a staggering $950 million.
Now, with its IPO upcoming in mid-2024, the struggling edtech giant has a lot riding on Aakash's success.
But Byju’s is turning out to become quite the troublesome partner for Aakash, no thanks to its aggressive sales tactics. These selling hacks are driving a wedge between the two teams on the ground and the plans to integrate have been put on hold.
Tune in.

Aakash’s sales force has no love lost for Byju’s
