- The National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) in Bengaluru has admitted BCCI's petition for insolvency proceedings against Byju's over unpaid dues of Rs 158 crore.
- Byju's had a sponsorship contract with BCCI for the Indian cricket team, and the petition was filed last year against its parent company, Think & Learn Pvt Ltd.
- The matter is set for further hearing on November 15, with Byju's previously stating it was in talks with BCCI to settle the issue.
- Tech investor Prosus wrote off its 9.6% stake in Byju's during the financial year 2024, citing a significant decrease in value for equity investors.
- A year-long probe by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs found lapses in corporate governance at Byju's but cleared it of financial fraud, attributing mounting losses to weak governance and compliance practices.
