Byju's (stylised as BYJU'S) is an Indian multinational educational technology company, headquartered in Bengaluru.[4] It was founded in 2011 by Byju Raveendran and Divya Gokulnath. As of January 2024, Byju's made a valuation ask of $200 million, a sharp fall given its peak valuation of $22 billion in 2022.[5] [6] As of April 2023, the company claims to have over 150 million registered students.[7]

In April 2024, according to a report by the Times of India, Byju's has laid off approximately 500 employees, mainly from its sales and marketing departments.[8]

The National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) in July 2024, admitted ed-tech company Byju's parent Think and Learn to insolvency resolution process in a plea filed by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) over unpaid dues amounting to over ₹158 crores.[9][10]
