Byju’s enters live online tutoring segment after testing it a few months

Byju’s is venturing into live online tutoring with a comprehensive suite of offerings. This follows a two-month experiment on the model.

The Bengaluru-based firm has launched “Byju’s Classes” — a programme that aims to provide students all benefits of personalised after-school tuition classes from the best teachers.

“We strongly believe a personalised and tech-enabled learning offering such Byju’s Classes will truly stand out in an otherwise fragmented after-school tutoring market,” said Divya Gokulnath, co-founder of Byju’s. The company achieved the feat of becoming India’s newest decacorn — at a valuation of $10.5 billion — following funding from Mary Meeker’s Bond Capital, last week.
