The $200 million rights issue by Think and Learn Pvt. Ltd (T&L), parent of Byju’s, threatens to wipe out shareholders who decline to participate. General Atlantic, Prosus Ventures, Peak XV and Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, among others, signed a notice demanding the change, the people cited above said. The extraordinary general meeting (EGM) to "address persistent issues" includes a call for the reconstitution of the beleaguered company’s board, "so that it is no longer controlled by the founders of T&L".
