Byju Raveendran, the founder of the once‑high‑profile ed‑tech firm Byju’s, has responded to a Singapore court’s contempt ruling that sentenced him to six months in jail, ordered his surrender, and imposed a S$90,000 legal‑costs payment along with a requirement to produce documents proving his ownership of Beeaar Investco Pte. Raveendran said the court’s decision and its media coverage create a misleading impression, especially as settlement talks with lenders—including GLAS Trust and Qatar Investment Authority—are nearly concluded and have recognized no wrongdoing by him or the other founders. He stressed that he has acted in good faith, that none of the founders personally received the disputed funds (which were used for legitimate business purposes), and that the continued pressure from QIA is an unnecessary tactic. Rejecting what he calls a “false and one‑sided narrative,” Raveendran reaffirmed his commitment to a constructive resolution and to protecting the interests of Byju’s, its employees, students, and stakeholders.
