BYJU’s CFO Ajay Goel quits after audit, Golani gets additional charge of India CFO

editor October 24, 2023

NEW DELHI: Ajay Goel, the Chief Financial Officer of Edtech startup BYJU'S, has left the company and is going back to Vedanta after concluding the financial year 2022 audit process, the company announced in a statement on Tuesday. The edtech firm has brought in seasoned businessman Pradip Kanakia as a senior advisor, and President (Finance) Nitin Golani has been granted more authority as the Chief Financial Officer (CFO) of India to manage the company's financial operations. "I appreciate BYJU'S founders and colleagues helping me put together the FY'22 audit in just three months. During my brief but significant tenure at BYJU'S, I am grateful for the support I received," Goel stated.According to the statement, he will move on after the financial year (FY) 2022 audit procedures are over. Sources claim that because Goel's departure was still being processed, the company's scheduled board meeting to approve the outcome in the second week of October could not proceed. The company's audit process will be materially impacted by the CFO's resignation, therefore even if Goel's audit is complete, the auditor BDO (MSKA & Associates) will sign off on the audit after conducting due diligence. Following the completion of the procedure by BDO (MSKA & Associates), the FY 2022 result will be presented to the board of BYJU for adoption, the source stated.After working for the company for six months, Goel has resigned. In the first week of April, BYJU's announced his hiring as Group CFO; however, as a result of internal reorganisation, he was tasked with overseeing finance at the Indian level. Deloitte, BYJU's auditor, quit in June, two months after Goel joined the company, alleging a delay in the completion of the financial accounts for FY 2022. Deloitte Haskins and Sells announced in a letter to the board of Byju that it is leaving its position as Think & Learn's auditor three years before its contract expires because of a protracted delay in the edtech company's financial statement for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2022.Following the resignation of Deloitte Haskins and Sells, the company named BDO (MSKA & Associates) as its auditor. Kankia, a senior advisor at BYJU'S, has over 35 years of expertise, having held executive roles at Price Waterhouse and KPMG. Prior to moving into an operational role at Aakash following the acquisition by Byju for USD 1 billion in 2021, Golani served as Chief Strategy Officer at Aakash Education.He started his career with Grant Thornton Bharat and has since held positions at Accenture Strategy and MetLife. Byju Raveendran and Divya Gokulnath, the founders of BYJU, praised Goel for his work as CFO and showed faith in the new group. Golani declared he will assume the new position with a committed group of people.

Rajnath Singh performs ‘Shastra Puja’ in Tawang

editor October 24, 2023

ARUNACHAL PRADESH: Tuesday was spent celebrating Dussehra with Army personnel at a forward base in Tawang, Arunachal Pradesh, by Defence Minister Rajnath Singh. According to sources, the defence minister also conducted a "Shastra Puja"—a ceremony in which weapons are worshipped. Singh is celebrating Dussehra with the soldiers along the Line of Actual Control (LAC), a strategically significant position, during a period when China and India have been locked in a brutal standoff in some areas of eastern Ladakh for more than three years. For the past few years, Singh has celebrated Dussehra with "Shastra Puja," even while he was the Union Home Minister in the previous NDA government.In spite of the fact that both parties have concluded their disengagement from a number of regions after intensive military and political negotiations, Indian and Chinese troops have been engaged in combat for more than three years in certain areas of eastern Ladakh. India has consistently argued that normal relations with China are contingent upon peace prevailing in the border regions. Following the standoff in eastern Ladakh, the Army has increased personnel and weapon deployment along the roughly 3,500 km-long Ladakh-Arunachal Pradesh corridor, including in the Sikkim and Arunachal Pradesh sectors.

Irfan dances with Rashid to fulfill his promise following Afghanistan’s historic victory over Pakistan

editor October 24, 2023

OCT 24, 2023 : Alongside star spinner Rashid Khan, former Indian all-rounder Irfan Pathan celebrated Afghanistan's incredible victory against Pakistan in the 2017 World Cup in style. Afghanistan stunned the crowd on Monday by winning their first-ever 50-over cricket match against Pakistan and their second unexpected victory in the World Cup. While the Afghanistan squad was celebrating, Rashid noticed Irfan providing commentary for the host broadcaster. After seeing one another, the two cricket players gave each other a tight hug and danced to celebrate their win.Irfan commented, "And I full filled mine," after sharing a video of the joyous occasion on Instagram. He also talked about keeping his word if Afghanistan won. I informed @rashid.khan19 that I would dance again after he assured me that they will win again." On Monday, Afghanistan upset their neighbours with a crushing eight-wicket loss on a sluggish Chennai surface, riding high on an impressive all-around performance in the field. Together with Rahmat Shah (77)* at No. 3, the opening duo of Rahmanullah Gurbaz (65) and Ibrahim Zadran (87) shone at the bat to enable Afghanistan record a historic victory. Following their humiliation by India, Pakistan's bowlers produced another lacklustre performance, putting no pressure on the Afghan batting while holding India to a respectable total of 283 on a difficult and slow-moving Chennai pitch. Afghanistan chased 283—a difficult score on a Chennai surface that offered variable bounce—and won by eight wickets with one over remaining. Afghanistan has now defeated two of cricket's biggest powers, Pakistan (the past world champions) and England (the current champions). Afghanistan's victory moved them up to sixth place in the standings. Pakistan, meanwhile, maintained their fifth-place finish with four points and a net run rate of -0.400.Next up for the flying Afghans is a match against Sri Lanka on October 30 at Pune's Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium, which has a high scoring capacity.
