BYJU'S Salary Slash: Exploiting Employees or Smart Business? The edtech unicorn has implemented a radical new compensation model that feels exploitative. Fresh sales recruits earn just ₹10,000/month fixed pay - not enough for rent. BDAs and inside sales staff saw salaries decimated by over 90% on fixed and variable pay. Founder Byju Raveendran wants earnings tied directly to revenue, turning employees into commission-hungry husks. Is this genius corporate leadership aligning incentives? Or exploiting a saturated job market by underpaying vulnerable workers? With ₹10k salaries, these Sales Associates are like Hunger Games tributes fighting for each sale to eat. BYJU'S defends this ruthlessly capitalistic "performance-based" model. But it reeks of employee exploitation masquerading as motivational compensation while they profit with billion-dollar valuations. Prepare for an exodus if this scorched-earth salary slash is their "Value Employees" plan.

This is fair guys. I am worked at byjus. Trust me they have been operating even the sales team at loss earlier since people were not working optimally. Now the new model will have higher variable pay which means hard workers will earn even more.

Performance-based pay can align incentives but should never be this extreme. People need a stable income to live and work effectively. Come on, BYJU'S.

This is insane. ₹10,000/month fixed pay is practically nothing, especially in cities like Bangalore. Feels like BYJU'S is pushing the “performance-based” narrative too far. 😡
