Byju’s, once India’s most valuable decacorn, is now teetering on the brink of collapse. Despite lofty valuations and high-profile endorsements, the company faces deep-rooted issues. Aggressive sales tactics, questionable ethics, and a lack of genuine value proposition have led to mounting losses and legal troubles. Investor activism and regulatory scrutiny have further compounded its woes. With layoffs, employee grievances, and a leadership crisis, Byju’s appears headed for a downward spiral reminiscent of other failed unicorns. As the company grapples with financial irregularities and operational challenges, its future looks increasingly bleak.
