About

Bengaluru-based edtech startup FrontRow, backed by Lightspeed, has laid off approximately 90% of its workforce through two rounds of job cuts in May and October of last year, reducing its team from around 350 to just 35 employees. The company, which operates in the non-academic upskilling industry, is now exploring acquisition options amid a challenging funding environment. Co-founder Ishaan Preet Singh cited strategic reassessment of the market's potential as the primary reason, rather than immediate financial runway concerns, stating the startup has about three years of capital left. This downsizing reflects broader struggles in the edtech sector as the company shifts focus to experiments in career learning for adults and offline development for children.
