Byjuโs was Indiaโs most valuable edtech giant โ now itโs valued at ZERO. How did it fall from a $22B star to a cautionary tale?" Byjuโs rapid rise was fueled by aggressive expansion, celebrity endorsements, and massive investments. But cracks began to show as they piled on acquisitions, some of which failed miserably as they failed to translate into profitability. The downfall began with reckless spending on marketing and an overambitious growth strategy. Key investors resigned, and Byjuโs couldnโt even raise funds. Legal battles, missed payments, and dubious accounting made things worse leading to plummeting valuation. A brutal lesson for any founder: sustainable & ethical growth > fast success. Will Byjuโs rise again or is this the end? Drop your thoughts below.
