About

In October 2022, the edtech startup FrontRow, which offers celebrity-taught courses similar to MasterClass, laid off approximately 130 employees, representing 75% of its workforce. This drastic reduction left the company with a team of about 40. Co-founder Ishaan Preet Singh cited unsustainable business fundamentals and a failed sales and marketing approach as the reasons. This was the startup's second major layoff in months, following a 30% cut in May. The move reflects broader challenges in the Indian edtech sector, which saw significant funding declines and widespread job losses in 2022. FrontRow had previously raised millions, including a $14 million Series A round.
