Why are you wasting 16 minutes explaining what led to his fall. It's a simple single word which is "Greed " that led to his fall.

[Amritabeautiful]

No need of explanation. Byjus is an edtech company which still has no ed(education) and no tech(technology). It obviously cannot run in a long term

[tarunbhasin]

If BYJU sold a course on "How to raise funding without a business plan" that surely will be a best seller.

Having Attended Byju's classes in person during my Bengaluru days, ther's no denying the fact that Byju is one of the smartest, most logical person that I have had the chance to learn from. He's an absolute LEGEND. My guess for the failure would be over-confidence and overspending(acquisitions) when the capital was cheap, and as interest rate hikes started to bite, it's all coming crashing down. Nobody is perfect, everyone makes mistakes, but some prove to be costly. I hope he comes back to his glory.

Now, byjus has come so far away from its ideology. Salesmangiri has replaced quality coaching. It should fall.

Money control was actively licking byjus ads few months ago, looks like they didn’t get the amount back . // bujus is a scam, but money control is shit

byjus was the one app where they made me in love with education
be it physics or biology
their animations and teachers were the best
i still remember being in 9th class and struggling with genetics and then i saw mam divya gokulnath classes on byjus and got my basic understanding of the chapter and after that reading my textbook was an easy affair and same was the case with other chapters and teachers
most of the byjus teachers are now founders of different startups also
i hope byjus get its act together and be successful

I would have sold the company in 2022. 22b usd is a crazy life changing amount.

[balajiseshadri]

Surprised that there is no mention of the latest rights offering, which is the bitterest pill of all for its investors, since it dilutes them down to a valuation of $250M.

[MrAnimeshK]

You explained everything that actually happened. But in a reason for the fall, you simply said that Byjus took a loan increasing its debt and post that it started falling. What was the actual reason? Did students stop studying from Byju's Apps? why Byjus was unable to pay the interest amount on the loan? Or what? Time waste!

[Harikrishnanam]

Excellent narration and presentation. Such videos Should be case study in IIMs.

[faraamn]

As an education company, where is the code of ethics? Byju's mission & values did not tally with its actions at all

[gauravahuja]

There’s no way the name of the product and company can remain BYJUs. That brand is dead

[raj-ujrd]

Covid was one of the reason for Byjus steep growth. During that time byju got lot of money from investors also got bank loan very easily. They just spent their money for advertising and expanding purpose without thinking twice. That really costs them very badly. Oh my goodness! How the life is! Its roller coster ride for byjus.. i am wishing him to come back strongly ❤

[sunilamaranth]

byjus went on a acquiring spree with any ed tech company that was coming up. We must also blame the investors for pooling in so much of money expecting their high return.

[pvhari]

He sold Samsung Tablets, which is not needed at all! Ppl should have option to use mobile which was not possible. OLA Electric is Next !

[booksandbulls]

Don't buy his product 😡😡 scammers

[arpitbaid]

An excellent teacher but a pathetic businessman....bjyu ravindran is an example....dont be so greedy that greed does you in

[SunilKewalramani]

NIFTY BANKNIFTY PREDICTIONS WEEK BEGINNING FEBRUARY 12 2024

[Saurabhkumar-gxwu]

Greed lead to its failure, what's the use of humble background if what you aim for is how to trick students to buy his packs and putting pressure on children
