Dutch technology investment firm Prosus has written off its 9.6% stake in edtech firm Byju's due to a significant decrease in value. The fair value loss of $493 million was recognized in the company's annual report. This move aligns with HSBC's earlier assertion that Prosus' stake in Byju's holds no value, citing legal cases and financial challenges. Prosus had previously invested $500 million in Byju's, making it one of its largest edtech investments in India. Additionally, Prosus marked its investment in Primrose Hill (ZestMoney) down to zero from $38 million in FY22.
