Football star and international sports legend Lionel Messi has been named the brand ambassador of education technology company Byju’s Education For All, which focuses on social impact.
The captain of the Argentine football team, who represents Paris Saint-Germain, has joined forces with BYJU’S to advance the cause of equal education.
Byju and Messi’s partnership, however, did not sit well with the internet community, who criticized the Ed-tech giant for mass-firing its employees in India while concurrently recruiting one of the most expensive players in the world.
