BCCI Takes Byju's Parent Company To Court

Think & Learn Pvt., the parent company of edtech firm Byju’s has been taken to the National Company Law Tribunal by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI).

The BCCI filed a company petition before NCLT Bengaluru under the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016, on September 8, according to the NCLT website.

The case was registered on November 15 and the date for the next hearing has been set for December 22.
