We are now a separate entity from Byju's: Aakash CEO Deepak Mehrotra

Deepak Mehrotra, managing director (MD) and chief executive officer (CEO) of Aakash Educational Services (AESL), is on a mission to revamp operations at the firm amid a crisis in the ed-tech industry and Aakash investor Byju's going through an insolvency process.

Mehrotra, who is a travel geek, has put a trip to Antarctica on hold because he wants to focus all his energy on the organization. He has developed a strategy 'Aakash 2.0' which includes scaling up company operations, bringing efficiency, and setting up hybrid learning centres.
