Reportedly, he also wrote an email to the employees saying that “to turn cash flow positive, the company “must embrace frugality as a core value.”
According to media reports, he said that the company would focus on organic growth, instead of splurging on advertising.
In Monday’s mail, Munjal wrote, “Even though we have more than Rs 2,800 crore in the bank (as of this morning), we are not efficient at all. We spend crores on travel for employees and educators. Sometimes, it's needed. Sometimes, it's not. There are a lot of unnecessary expenses that we do. We must cut all these expenses. We have a strong core business. We must turn profitable ASAP,” he reportedly wrote in the mail.
