Sportz Interactive. Age old company (15+ years) but behaves like a startup.

BUT doesn’t pay half as much as a startup. A senior PM with 6-7 YOE earns 14LPA there.

Not Really. I worked in Byjus for sometime . They have a pretty good product and tech culture. What you hear is about sales . Speak to people in Product and Tech and they will say a different point of view
