About

WhiteHat Jr, a children's coding platform owned by Indian edtech giant Byju's, has laid off approximately 300 employees globally in late June 2022. This workforce reduction is part of a broader "realignment" of business priorities by the parent company, Byju's, which cited a need to optimize teams for long-term growth. The layoffs occur amid a significant market downturn affecting the global and Indian startup ecosystem, particularly in the edtech and consumer tech sectors, where numerous companies have recently cut jobs. This move reflects the challenging investment climate and ongoing corrections within the industry.
