These were opened in Delhi, Gurugram, Mumbai, Pune, Hyderabad, Chennai and other cities. The company had then said that it had started the process of restructuring its office space a few months ago under the leadership of CEO Arjun Mohan. Now the decision to close all regional offices to cut costs has been finalized.
After this the company also announced the closure of 30 of its tuition centres. After acquiring Aakash Educational Services, Byju's also started opening its own tuition centers across the country.
