BYJU's: Wasn't it always gonna happen?

I hear tales about how at their peak, BYJU's used to deal with investors. They would not share financials. If you wanted to invest, they'd ask you to come down to office, and only for that time, see whatever you want to see.

Investors obliged. It was the shining star of Edtech India, nobody wanted to miss out.

Now those same investors are ousting the founder, fair enough.

But I hope enough people look back and realize they created the problem. They allowed it to exist.
