Byju's founder Byju Raveendran has reportedly offered his under-construction villa in Eplinson and his family members' home in Bengaluru worth Rs 100 crore as collateral to borrow $12 million (approx Rs 100 crore). The fund was used to pay salaries of 15,000 employees. Now, Byju's is valued at $3 million after an 86% decline since last year. Do you think this is a good example of leadership in the Indian start-up ecosystem?

Byju's paved the way to growth, but they lacked indepth understanding and work ethics. They just believed in expanding and forgot to do self-work for improvement

He deserves this, it's plain and simple after looting the poor parents of so many children with aggressive marketing and loan tactics he himself should go through all such phases. Happy that he is paying for his acts.

@victorm Yeah the customer acquisition strategies they took were almost scammy. Agreed.
