Aakash Educational moves NCLT to implead EY in edtech firm Byju's dispute

The dispute between Aakash Educational Services (AESL) and edtech firm Byju's has escalated, with Aakash filing a sharply worded petition before the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) in Bengaluru, alleging conflict of interest and professional misconduct by global consulting firm Ernst & Young (EY), according to court filings reviewed by Business Standard. In an impleadment application filed on June 1, AESL has urged the tribunal to either dismiss the company petition filed by Byju's under Sections 241 and 242 of the Companies Act, alleging oppression and mismanagement, or make EY LLP and its partner Ajay Shah respondents in the case. AESL alleges that EY, which has been involved in a wide range of strategic, financial, and compliance-related advisory services for the company, is now acting against it through Shailendra Ajmera, the Resolution Professional (RP) of Byju's, who is also a senior EY functionary. 'This is a classic case of conflict of interest and abuse of the process,' said the application. 'The very transactions now being challenged in the petition — such as the issuance and conversion of non-convertible debentures (NCDs), equity restructuring, and internal governance matters — were structured and overseen by EY,' the application added. According to the filing, EY advised on the valuation and structuring of NCDs issued to Davidson Kempner. It also advised on tax and regulatory aspects of equity conversion to the Manipal group. Additionally, EY was involved in internal board-level decisions and corporate strategy at AESL as recently as October 2024. AESL is showcasing internal emails and advisory documents, evidencing EY's alleged involvement in financial forecasting, liquidity management, and decision-making processes. 'The RP has suppressed material facts, has no locus standi to file this petition under the Companies Act, and is acting in excess of his powers under the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC),' AESL said in the filing. AESL has also warned that it may escalate the matter to regulators, including the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Board of India (IBBI) and the Ministry of Corporate Affairs, alleging that Ajmera's position as RP is 'severely compromised'. The move comes just days after the RP wrote to the AESL board, seeking clarity on the independence and nomination status of its directors, signalling a broader governance challenge in the ongoing tussle. What's at stake The fight over Aakash, which Byju's acquired in a $1 billion deal in 2021, has become a flashpoint in the edtech giant's ongoing financial and legal troubles. The Manipal group, which took over a significant stake by converting debt into equity, now controls the board of AESL. With this filing, AESL is preparing for a full-blown legal and reputational offensive, challenging both the admissibility of Byju's petition and the professional neutrality of the advisers involved. Both EY and the RP are yet to file a formal reply to the impleadment request. 'The matter is sub judice and, therefore, we cannot offer any further comment at this time. However, we refute the allegations and will defend any such legal action vigorously,' an EY spokesperson told Business Standard on Tuesday.

Aakash moves NCLT to implead EY, alleges conflict in Byju's petition

BENGALURU: Aakash Educational Services Ltd (AESL) has filed an application before the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT), Bengaluru, seeking to dismiss a petition filed by Byju's and calling for the impleadment of consultancy firm Ernst & Young (EY) and its partner Ajay Shah. AESL has alleged a conflict of interest, citing EY's past advisory roles in transactions now being challenged by the Resolution Professional (RP) of Think & Learn Pvt Ltd, Byju's parent entity. In its June 1 application, AESL claimed that EY and Shah had played a central role in financial, legal, and compliance-related matters for the company, including the structuring of non-convertible debentures (NCDs), their conversion to equity, and other board-level decisions. The same transactions are now under challenge by the RP, Shailendra Ajmera, who AESL alleges is also affiliated with EY. 'The RP has suppressed material facts and is acting in excess of his statutory powers under the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code,' AESL said in its filing. It further alleged that Ajmera's position as RP is 'severely compromised' due to EY's historical involvement with multiple parties in the dispute, including AESL, Byju's, and Davidson Kempner. The impleadment plea includes internal communications between AESL and Shah, such as cash flow discussions, equity restructuring guidance, and audit-related representations. AESL claimed that Ajmera failed to disclose these associations and filed the petition without requisite approvals from Byju's Committee of Creditors or the NCLT. The filing comes days after Ajmera, in a letter dated May 28, wrote to the AESL board questioning the status and independence of its directors, particularly those aligned with Manipal Group, which acquired a significant stake in AESL last year through a debt-to-equity transaction. AESL has also stated it may escalate the matter to regulatory bodies including the Ministry of Corporate Affairs and the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Board of India. The tribunal is yet to decide on the maintainability of Byju's original petition. Stay informed with the latest business news, updates on bank holidays and public holidays .
