DESCRIPTION
I had to choose my region from a dialog when I opened byjus.com. At the top of the page was a button for Byju’s math companion, a self-described one-stop solution for all your math needs. Beneath that was a larger button that said: “Learn with us.” When I scrolled down there were banner ads for their own services related to the same courses. One of them offered to book a free trial class. When I scrolled down, it said AI would assist in the learning. At the bottom was an option to choose a learning program for the child’s age: Pre-K to Grade 3, Grades 4 – 8, and Grades 9 – 12.
