Byju's Subsidiaries Sale: $700M Bet Shrinks To $97M As Epic, Tynker Sold At Heavy Loss
Byju Raveendran noted that the company expanded too fast in over 21 countries, driven by the pressure from investors. Byju's originally purchased Tynker in 2021 for around $200 million and Epic for about $500 million the same year. The significantly lower sale prices reflect the steep devaluation of the company's global portfolio. EdWeek Market Brief reported that Tynker's sale resulted from 48 rounds of competitive bidding between CodeHS, operating through a new entity named Tynker Holdings, and another bidder, Future Minds. Jeremy Keeshin, the CEO of CodeHS and the sole member of Tynker Holdings, stated that this acquisition would enable CodeHS to support learners from basic coding to advanced computer science. Department Of Justice Intervention Epic's sale encountered a last-minute intervention from the US Department of Justice, which highlighted the potential need for a review by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) due to the Chinese ownership of the buyer. Judge Shannon described the event as a 'fire drill," but the sale ultimately proceeded. Byju Raveendran Accepts His Big Mistake Byju's founder Byju Raveendran earlier acknowledged that a significant mistake the company made was opting for a $1.2 billion term loan in 2021, despite having adequate equity funding options. He also noted that the company expanded too fast in over 21 countries, driven by the pressure from investors. In an interview with ANI, Raveendran explained that the decision, made collectively with board members including investor and founder directors, was not a result of desperation, as the company had previously raised $5 billion.

Sony moves Bombay HC to challenge TDSAT stay on Tata Play disconnection
Sony Pictures Networks India (SPNI) has moved the Bombay High Court to challenge a recent Telecom Disputes Settlement and Appellate Tribunal (TDSAT) order restraining SPNI from proceeding with a disconnection notice issued to direct-to-home (DTH) operator Tata Play . A division bench of the court comprising Justices Revati Mohite Dere and Neela Gokhale on Tuesday issued notices to TDSAT and Tata Play, directing them to file their responses. The matter has been posted for further hearing on Monday, June 16. SPNI, a Sony Group Corp-owned entity operating under the legal name Culver Max Entertainment, runs 27 television channels. It issued a disconnection notice to Tata Play, the country's largest DTH operator with 18 million subscribers, after the latter decided to remove its channels from consumer packs following disagreements over the renewal of their annual subscription deal. While staying SPNI's disconnection notice on May 27, TDSAT had directed Tata Play to pay Rs 40 crore to the broadcaster within two weeks as part-payment against SPNI's claimed dues of Rs 128 crore. The tribunal said this amount would be adjusted against the final liability determined during the final hearing. People familiar with the dispute between the two said SPNI is seeking a fee hike, which Tata Play has resisted citing declining viewership of its channels. TDSAT in its order noted that not granting the stay could result in irreparable harm to Tata Play. It directed both parties to reconcile their differences, including at the account level. In the High Court, senior counsel Janak Dwarkadas, along with Sneha Jaisingh of Bharucha & Partners, appeared for SPNI to challenge the TDSAT order. Senior counsel Ravi Kadam is representing Tata Play. In the TDSAT, Tata Play's counsel argued that the broadcaster's demand was unjustified, claiming the company had already paid about Rs 4,000 crore over the past decade, including Rs 700 crore annually. They further contended that substantial payments had been made since SPNI's initial communication in March 2025, which had sought dues of Rs 300 crore. Tata Play, jointly owned by Tata Sons (70%) and Walt Disney (30%), reported a consolidated net loss of Rs 510 crore for FY25, up 44% from Rs 354 crore the previous year. Revenue declined 5.46% to Rs 4,082 crore, driven by subscriber losses amid increased competition from DD Free Dish and the rising popularity of OTT platforms. SPNI reported a 19% year-on-year decline in consolidated net profit to Rs 839 crore for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024. Revenue from operations fell 3% to Rs 6,510 crore, with advertising revenue declining 11% to Rs 2,912 crore, while subscription revenue rose 7% to Rs 3,346 crore. According to Ashish Pyasi, partner at law firm Aendri Legal, the TDSAT resolves conflicts between telecom and broadcast companies. Its rulings can only be challenged in the Supreme Court. There is no provision for challenging the interim orders to the Supreme Court. 'However, if someone files a writ petition in the High Court against a temporary TDSAT order, they are asking the High Court to use its special powers, which is only allowed in rare cases,' adds Pyasi.
