Arjun Mohan takes over charge as BYJU’S India CEO as Mrinal Mohit quits

Edtech firm BYJU’S Founding Partner and India operations CEO Mrinal Mohit has resigned “for personal reasons”. BYJU’s International Business CEO Arjun Mohan will now take the additional charge of heading the country’s operations, the company said in a statement.

Mohan was part of the BYJU’S founding team and was the Chief Business Officer in his previous stint. In the last three months, Mohan worked closely with the founder and Group CEO Byju Raveendran. He headed UpGrad while away from Byju's, according to a statement by Byju's.

Reflecting on Mrinal's contributions, Byju Raveendran said, “If Byju's has reached the remarkable heights it stands at today, it is due to the extraordinary efforts of our founding team. Mrinal's contributions have left an indelible mark on our organization, and we bid him a bittersweet farewell. I am immensely proud of what we have achieved together."

Welcoming Arjun Mohan back to the startup, Raveendran added, “Arjun's return is a testament to his belief in our mission and the unparalleled opportunities that lie ahead. His expertise will undoubtedly help our turnaround efforts and strengthen our position in the global edtech landscape."

Speaking about his departure from Byju’s, Mrinal Mohit said, “Being part of the founding team at Byju's has been an incredible journey, and I am grateful for the opportunity to have contributed to the transformation of education. As I embark on a new chapter in my career, I leave Byju's in capable hands and carry with me the pride of what we have achieved as a team."   

While speaking about Byju Raveendran, Mohan said, "It was no surprise that I joined him to revolutionize education more than a decade ago. And it is no surprise either that I return to BYJU’S today, when technology is poised to play an even more important role in making education truly personalised. While challenges are aplenty, I am ready to play my role in helping BYJU’S empower our current and future generations to thrive in a rapidly changing world."
