BYJU'S restructuring 2026
BYJU'S settled a major rights issue dispute with Aakash Educational Services Limited (AESL) before NCLT. The settlement follows months of creditor-backed negotiations and comes as BYJU'S faces overlapping disputes over ownership, creditor recovery, and asset disposition. Creditors are exploring a broader settlement centered on Aakash, with global lenders (GLAS Trust) in advanced talks to acquire a 30% stake in Aakash, valuing it at ~$2B.

The leadership read

For BYJU'S in the sector, it shifts demand toward transformation and turnaround leaders who hold delivery steady while the organisation changes shape. Across Asia, watch where BYJU'S still invests in leadership; that is the part it means to keep.
