The Delaware Supreme Court has upheld a previous ruling that edtech firm Byju's had defaulted on a $1.5 billion loan. As a result, the lenders can now demand full repayment, take control of Byju’s US entity (Byju’s Alpha Inc.
), and appoint Timothy Pohl as its sole director, the US lenders said. “This ruling confirms that Byju’s was in default, which both Byju Raveendran (founder) and Riju Ravindran personally acknowledged when they signed multiple amendments to the credit agreement on Byju’s behalf from October 2022 to January 2023,” the steering committee of the ad hoc group of term loan lenders to Byju’s Alpha, Inc said in a statement. This is the second public statement from the lenders reinforcing that Byju’s and Raveendran must repay the outstanding loan.
According to the court, the edtech company must be held accountable for its financial defaults and cannot distance itself from conceding to those defaults and their consequences, the lenders said.

Gupta, Professor: Department of Finance and Business Economics, University of Delhi View Program “Byju has attempted to concoct an alternate narrative that Byju’s did not default and to place the blame of the company’s failure on others rather than repay lenders money that is rightfully owed to us, including disclosing what happened to the $533 million of missing loan proceeds. It is his unreliable word against that of the highest court in the State of Delaware,” they added.
