Deal could value edtech firm at $48 billion
Tiger Global-backed Byju’s is in talks for a U.S. listing through a deal with veteran dealmaker Michael Klein’s blank-check firm that could value the Indian edtech firm at $48 billion, a source told Reuters on Thursday.
Byju’s, which offers online education and caters to all age groups, has benefited from a boom in online education as schools and in-person classes were forced shut by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Discussions with Churchill Capital’s special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) about the deal, that could happen in mid-2022, are in advanced stages with plans to raise about $4 billion, the source added.

Insurance penetration and density are often misunderstood and do not reveal how many families are insured or whether they would be financially secure if the main earning member were to die. The real issue is not reach but adequacy, as households may have life insurance but not enough cover to replace lost income, leaving them financially vulnerable.
