Indian tech firm Byju’s hauled in by watchdog over Context expose

CHENNAI – Indian education technology giant Bjyu’s has said it will stop selling tuition to poorer families who may struggle to afford it, according to India’s child rights body, which summoned the company’s CEO on Friday to answer over a Context investigation.

In response to a two-part Context expose of Byju’s working culture and treatment of customers, the National Commission for Protection of Child Rights (NCPCR) issued the summons – saying that the company had “indulged in malpractices to lure parents”.

On Friday, one of Byju’s founding partners – Pravin Prakash – attended the closed-door hearing on behalf of CEO Byju Raveendran. It is believed to be the first such notice issued against an edtech company in India over its sales practices.

Prakash said the company would start carrying out “affordability checks” to ensure it did not sell its courses or offer loans to families with an income of below 25,000 Indian rupees ($302), NCPCR chairperson Priyank Kanoongo told Context.

What does spa mean?

Spa refers to: water to achieve health, healthy water. SPA refers to the use of water resources combined with bathing, massage, smearing skin care products and aromatherapy to promote metabolism and satisfy human vision, taste, touch, smell and thinking to achieve a pleasant enjoyment of body and mind.

SPA is a soothing and stress-relieving method composed of professional beauty therapists, water, light, aromatic oils, music and other elements, which can help people achieve body, mind and spirit fitness effects. The discussion on the origin of the word SPA has a word that runs through it, that is, “hydrotherapy”, which reflects the important role of water in the field of healing in ancient times and in early European spa culture.
Types of spas:

There are many kinds of SPA, from ordinary bath massage, to aromatherapy massage using various mineral waters and aromatic oils, to the popular “parent fish” bath that gnaws dead skin flakes, as well as chocolate and coffee SPA. However, there are other more special spa treatments around the world, there are intoxicating beer spas, sensational snake spas, and even crude oil spas that use oil as bath water.
