Toppr, an edtech startup owned by BYJU'S, laid off over 350 employees in late June 2022, following its acquisition by the larger company. The layoffs primarily affected content and media teams, including subject experts and developers, as BYJU'S restructured and aligned business lines post-acquisition. Employees were asked to resign by June 29 or face termination, with severance including notice pay and additional compensation. This move occurred shortly after layoffs at another BYJU'S subsidiary, WhiteHat Jr, reflecting broader adjustments in the edtech industry amid shifting business priorities.
