Edtech startup Teachmint laid off 45 employees, or around 5% of its workforce, last week, sources told Inc42.

According to the sources, the laid-off employees were from the sales and operations teams. The startup provided a three-month severance package and extended health coverage to the affected employees. It would also hasten ESOP vesting for affected employees. Teachmint blamed the layoffs on its efforts to improve long-term efficiencies and eliminate redundancies.
