EVEN THE MOST conservative observers will concede that the Byju's saga has barely unfolded. The once-storied edtech unicorn has seen a dramatic drop in its valuation and has witnessed a very combative relationship between its promoters and investors.

The company has said that the issue was oversubscribed, without disclosing details.
