NCLT Bengaluru Reserves Order on Plea by Four Investors Against Byju's $200M Rights Issue

The National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) Bengaluru has reserved its order on a plea filed by four investors against edtech giant Byju's, concerning allegations of oppression and mismanagement. The plea specifically sought to halt Byju's $200 million rights issue. Despite the ongoing legal proceedings, Byju's rights issue, which CEO Byju Raveendran claims is fully subscribed, closed as scheduled. In a recent development, the NCLT has directed Byju's to place the proceeds from the rights issue in an escrow account and to consider extending the rights issue's closure date. This legal battle has attracted attention due to its potential implications for corporate governance and investor rights within the Indian startup ecosystem.
