The company started making a huge number of losses in its financial year that ended in March 2021, its latest public figures showed. Gokulnath attributes this to a change in revenue recognition. Instead of revenue being accounted for when a person paid for a course, it is instead calculated when the specific course begins.

From the BCCI, a statement has emerged on the sponsorship deal stating that Byju’s now wants to terminate its agreement with the BCCI. However, the board had asked the company to continue at least until March 2023.
