Netizens were unhappy, “Baksh de Bhai, Karma, Karma, fraud, thief, imprisonment…” Byju Raveendran promised “again rise again.”
Byju Raveendran, the shameful founder and CEO of Edtech startup Byju, promised a comeback in a March 30 social media post, but netizens have made many reactions, which are ironic forms of anger.
Byju Raveendran in an article on X (formerly known as Twitter) titled: “Break, don’t break.
“Will rise again” Byju Raveendran says netizens are unhappy
While Byju Raveendran’s position is hopeful, the reaction to X is overwhelmingly negative—from anger to irony.
One user is very critical of Byju’s financial difficulties on everyday people: “Karma hits you! Sell labels to the poor in the name of good education of fear. Put them in the trap of loans and EMI. What is an evil organization byju. We all know. (SIC). (SIC)””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””
Others agreed, “You broke, not broken. But you broke the dreams of many students and families!
Another thinks Raveendran can’t come back due to lack of FO trust, “Greed beyond Byjus, the education consultant behaves like a rogue, people forget everything, but they never forget how you treat them. You have the opportunity to make an impact in your life, and you blow it up. (Sic),” they write.
Some others sarcastically said, “Please beg me. Bacchus de Bai. (Please help us brothers. I plead seriously, please don’t come back.) Another said, “Please stay where you are. The demands of modesty stop rising.
Others disdain Raveendran, saying “No one wants you to rise again” and “You should go to jail”
Byju Raveendra’s “overly optimistic” return to Byju
It is worth noting that this is Raveendran’s second online post after he cleared his social media account in his Edtech Unicorn Byju’s legal and financial issues. On March 29, the startup founder broke his social media break, which seemed to be a trailer for Byju’s comeback – the first post of the thread has been viewed 93,900 times.
He ended the topic: “Once we restarted our company – I believe it will be earlier than expected – we will only rehire from the incredible former Byjuites pool. My super advantage seems crazy to some. But don’t forget, you have to be weird to be number one (SIC).
Byju, once worth $22 billion, faces serious financial and legal challenges. The Edtech giant defaulted on $1.2 billion in loans, resulting in BCCI’s bankruptcy proceedings on unpaid sponsorship dues. The company’s valuation plummeted, and investors wrote off their shares in unpaid wages, layoffs and operations struggles.
