About

FrontRow, a Bengaluru-based edtech startup backed by Lightspeed and other investors, laid off 145 employees on May 27, representing about 30% of its 500-person workforce. The cuts primarily impacted the sales, quality control, and HR teams as the company seeks to reduce costs and improve efficiency amid a broader funding crunch and challenging market conditions. Notably, affected employees did not receive a severance package, though they were paid their May salaries. This restructuring comes just eight months after FrontRow raised $14 million in a Series A round, highlighting the pressures facing startups in the competitive non-academic upskilling industry.
