Unacademy layoffs: Edtech platform sacks 40 employees, cites 'lack of availability of roles'

Edtech platform Unacademy-run Relevel has laid off 40 employees, or 20 per cent of its workforce, as it shifts its focus from the education business to "tests product" and a new app called NextLevel. In an internal memo, Gaurav Munjal, Unacademy's Co-Founder and CEO, said that almost 80 per cent of Relevel's remaining team will be absorbed by other businesses of Unacademy Group.
