Given this environment, capital will be scarce for upcoming quarters,&#8221; Krishna said.<\/p>\n<p>He said that with COVID-19 tailwinds receding, schools and offline models opening up and the hyper growth of 9 times Vedantu experienced during the last 2 years will also get moderated.<\/p>\n<p>Vamsi said that the company will have to adapt to situation for long term sustenance.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The result is that a few teams and projects will have to be deprioritised, and in the process, a few of our Vedans will be let go as well.
