The Kerala government on Wednesday will meet the officials of Edtech platform Byju's over the ‘forced resignations’ of 170 employees. The Kerala government's labour department had scheduled a meeting on October 25, but the company officials did not attend citing short notice, Livemint reported. According to the report, some laid off Byju's employees had approached Kerala's labour commissioner K Vasuki claiming that a verbal request for a forced resignation had been made by the Edtech giant. The meeting comes a day after the company founder Byju Raveendran apologised to his employees for the layoffs. Pointing to ‘inefficiencies’ in the rapid and inorganic growth, the founder said there was a need to rationalise the process, PTI reported.
