Indian edtech giant Byju’s raises $250 million in fresh funding • ZebethMedia

Byju’s said it has raised $250 million in new funding from existing backers as the Indian edtech giant looks to navigate the market downturn that has forced the firm to postpone the initial public offering.
The new funding valued the Bengaluru-headquartered startup at $22 billion, the same figure at which it raised a financing round in March this year, a person familiar with the matter said.
The company declined to comment on the valuation and did not disclose the names of the investors. Byju Raveendran, founder and chief executive of Byju’s, told ZebethMedia in an earlier interview that the startup was engaging with existing sovereign funds to put together a new round.
“Byju’s is now at that sweet spot of its growth story where the unit economics and the economies of scale both are in its favour,” he said in a statement today.
“This means the capital that we now invest in our business will result in profitable growth and create sustainable social impact. Regardless of the adverse macroeconomic conditions, 2022-23 is set to be our best year in terms of revenue, growth and profitability. Continued support from our esteemed investors re-affirms the impact created by us so far, and validates our path to profitability.”
