BYJU's Senior Vice President for International Business, Cherian Thomas, Decides to Depart
In a notable shift in leadership, Cherian Thomas, former senior vice-president for international business at edtech giant Byju's, has been appointed as the CEO of Impending Inc., a US-based company. Thomas was the first international employee at Byju's in 2017 and played a pivotal role in setting up the company's US operations and acquiring companies like Osmo.
Last week, Byju's asked 400 of its employees to voluntarily resign from the mentoring and product expert division. According to reports, those placed under performance review were asked to leave on Thursday, while employees who chose to resign were offered two months' salary as part of the final settlement.
Thomas, who was credited with building the international organization at Byju's and achieving a revenue of over $100 million as the CEO of Osmo, a BYJU'S subsidiary in FY21, is now focusing on expanding and scaling the product portfolio of Impending. He stated that Impending embodies everything he would pursue if he were to start anew.
Thomas's new role at Impending also includes working on growing and reinforcing a global talent pool.
