Byju Raveendran: From boom to bust
Financial Express Delhi|December 28, 2024
BY EARLY 2024, these issues culminated in severe consequences.
By A News Reporter

US-based lenders initiated bankruptcy proceedings against Byju's to recover outstanding loans, and back home, the ministry of corporate affairs launched investigations into its financial practices. Shareholders, including prominent investors like Prosus NV, voted to remove Raveendran as CEO—a decision he legally contested. The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India found Byju's auditors guilty of gross negligence, recommending punitive measures.

These crises forced the company to scale down, laying off thousands of employees and shuttering multiple offices and tuition centers. BlackRock, one of its key investors, slashed the company's valuation from $22 billion in 2022 to a mere $1 billion, exposing the inflated metrics upon which its growth was predicated.

Across the Aisle

Commentators described the BJP-led government as a 'minority' government that will force Mr Modi to be more circumspect and restrained. I did not share that view. They thought that Mr Modi will be more deferent to Parliament, but that too was belied by the Winter session. Apparently, on Mr Modi's instructions, the ministers and MPs carried on in the usual aggressive way, showed scant respect to Parliamentary rules and conventions, and rode roughshod over the Opposition
