The Same Thing Happened With The Indian Cricket Team.
After collaborating with BYJU’s in 2019, the Indian cricket team lost the ODI World Cup in the UK, the T20 World Cup in 2021 and 2022, and the World Test Championship.
The Messi deal came at a critical time for BYJU’s as the company is experiencing significant losses and is looking at various cost-cutting options. One of the most important actions was to fire 2,500 employees and shut down physical operations in several places. It also changed the focus of its sales efforts from outside sales to inside sales.
As the first Indian firm to sponsor a Fifa World Cup, the corporation nevertheless continued to advertise its brand, paying close to $30–$40 million.
