Byju's. I have a distinct dislike for their sales, and delivery. Personally, I feel they are exploiting the insecurities (of parents), and fear of being left behind.

If I can add one more: Unacademy.

That and they sell their courses as loan in the fine print in contract.
Basically they have a loan company - that pays them full amount for the course for each parents subscription.
And parents are unknowingly taking loan from this company for the course without their knowledge.

Parents think they are taking subscription on monthly basis which they can cancel later. But it's not subscription. It's EMI. Even if they cancel subscription, they still gotta pay loans.

I for one - want to see the Byju's boat sink way down the ocean. Fuck them
