Ridiculous experience from the great BYJU’S !! (byjus.com)
My daughter doing her schooling in Kerala was informed by the Byju’s team that she is eligible for a scholarship from Byju’s after some evaluation conducted by them. Sales team came home and told my wife and daughter that she will be benefited to subscribe their combo package for 9th and 10th standard contents including a tablet for INR 35,000/- while their actual price is INR 45,000/-. The offer will finish within 2 days (Emotional black mailing!!!)
Both were happy and they listened to that as a token of appreciation from Byju’s and informed me about the same. As part of due diligence, I just had a chat with the Byju’s website online support and checked the price – they offered the same for INR 32,000/-. Yes, Rs.3000/- less without the so called wonderful SCHOLARSHIP !!
Byju’s, as of what I heard is now a hugely funded big business and I appreciate and value them as a business entity. Same time I feel pity of these kind of ridiculous and unhealthy marketing gimmicks from a business in the field of Education !!
If this message somehow reaches the Byju’s team/Parents/Teachers/Students. I wish so....
