<p>Byju made contact with staff members to thank them for their assistance during difficult circumstances. A previous cash constraint forced the company’s founders and family to offer their home as security for staff wages.</p>
<p>“I have been moving mountains for months to make payroll, and this time, the struggle was even bigger to ensure that you receive what you rightfully deserve,” Byju Raveendran said in a letter.</p>
<p>“Everybody has made sacrifices, everybody has grappled with decisions they never desired to make, and everybody is a little bit weary in this battle, but nobody has chosen to give up,” Raveendran said.</p>
<p>In order to raise $200 million at a far lower value than its peak price in March 2022, Byju’s launched a rights offering.</p>
<p>Declaring, “Nothing matters to me more than your belief in my ability to deliver,” Byju assured staff members of his dedication.</p>
<p>“I stand up for you. You fight beside me. I have been able to weather every storm because of this precious friendship,” Raveendran said.</p>
<p>He related a touching story about how bad news regarding the firm brought his father, who serves as an inspiration, to tears.</p>
<p>“My father serves as a great example for me. He encouraged me to constantly pursue my aspirations, which is why I am an entrepreneur and a teacher today. I felt a sharp anguish that my rock-solid supporter, him, was crying,” he added.</p>
<p>The business successfully paid off all outstanding debts for current workers before the scheduled deadline. In a letter written on Friday, Byju Raveendran said that the business is getting near to operational profitability.</p>
<p>Yes, we still need to pay off past debts and ensure short-term development.We will effectively solve these issues if this rights issue is successful,” he said.</p>
