Indian edtechs must course correct to avoid becoming the next Byju’s

Earlier this week, Gurugram played host to what was probably the country’s largest edtech summit. Organised by edtech-focused GSV Ventures and upskilling unicorn Eruditus, the event brought together a diverse group, including investors, government officials, entrepreneurs, and industry veterans.

The summit's timing was significant. The edtech landscape has seen a marked change in perception since mid-2022, with the return of in-person education at schools, colleges, and tuition centres. More importantly, the summit coincided with mounting challenges for Byju's—once the world's most valuable edtech startup.
