Karan Bajaj Whitehat Jr Founder exits BYJU’s a year after acquisition. BYJU’s acquisition of WhiteHat Jr was one of the biggest deals in the edtech space as they wanted to expand their international presence.. In fact, the unicorn was looking to provide coding programmes for kids — an area of expertise for WhiteHat Jr. Byju Raveendran, Co-founder and CEO, BYJU’S, announced Karan’s exit from the company in an internal mail to the employees. Under the leadership of Karan , WhiteHat Jr and BYJU’S FutureSchool has been able to reach hundreds of thousands of students in countries around the world daily with a team of 11,000+ deeply committed teachers.
With Karan’s departure, Trupti Mukker, who is the Head of Customer Experience and Delivery, will now lead the organisation. “In a short span of seven months, Trupti has been a great asset to the organisation, delivering unmatched student and teacher experience as witnessed in our record NPS scores and will bring her 20+ years of progressive, global leadership experience to continue expanding and scaling the organisation. With the great success we’re seeing in every new country and category we enter, WhiteHat Jr and BYJU’S FutureSchool will continue to operate independently under Trupti, drawing synergies from the core as needed, and be the centre of our global expansion plans.” read the email excerpt from Byju Raveendran. In a LinkedIn post, Karan, while announcing his exit, said, “Barely 2.5 years ago, it was an idea. Now, thanks to the power of tech, thousands of students and teachers are on the WHJ/BYJU’S FutureSchool platform, creating things with coding, maths, and now even the guitar and piano daily across the world, living the mission of kids being builders and creators versus consumers!”
