FrontRow fires 130 employees in second layoff exercise

A day after edtech major Byju’s said it will lay off 5% of its 50,000-strong staff to achieve profitability through rationalisation, another edtech startup FrontRow has followed suit.

FrontRow, which is focused on non-academic learning, has sacked 130 employees (almost 75% of its workforce), across marketing, sales, engineering, and product, as startups in the online education sector relook at cost structures.
