Byju aims to rebuild by returning to classrooms and improving learning with new technology.

After facing serious financial troubles and legal issues, Byju Raveendran, the founder and CEO of Byju’s, says he is ready to bring the company back to its roots — education and classrooms.

Byju’s was once India’s most valuable startup, known for making online learning popular, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. But after growing too fast, the company faced money problems and lawsuits. Raveendran has now revealed a brand-new strategy known as "Byju's 3.0."

Speaking to ANI, Byju Raveendran highlighted that courtrooms were not where he or his company belonged — their true place was in classrooms. He highlighted India's deep respect for education and teachers as a key strength that could support the company’s recovery. Raveendran also clarified that Byju’s was never driven by personal profit, but by a mission to improve student learning.

Raveendran also said that he won’t give up on Byju’s because many students, teachers, and employees have trusted the company. While he didn’t share all the details about the new version, Byju’s 3.0 may use artificial intelligence (AI) to support teachers and help students who are struggling.

According to Byju Raveendran, the company's goal is still to encourage pupils to embrace studying. He expressed a strong desire to make an even greater impact with the next phase of the company’s journey.

He also mentioned that some investors, especially from the U.S., tried to take control of the company when it was facing legal and money problems. The problems grew worse after a $1.2 billion loan in 2021, which led to a fight with lenders.

Even after all these challenges, Raveendran believes Byju’s can come back stronger—by focusing once again on what it was built for: making learning better for students through technology.
