Byju’s Co-Founder Slams Media Reports Claiming Their Unpaid Dues to BCCI

Byju’s co-founder Divya Gokulnath shared a Linkedin post in which she slammed media organisations for sharing such reports without verifying the truth in the matter.

“The bizarreness of the fake news story that we have not paid our dues to the BCCI was only matched by the urgency with which ‘media’ organizations ‘reported’ it. Even in this age of post-truth and verifying-after-reporting, we expect at least the real journalists to do some basic fact checks and not get swayed by hearsay and concocted stories by vested parties,” she wrote.

“As they say, a lie travels around the world while the truth is putting its shoes on. The truth is now out with its shoes on,” Gokulnath added.

The Ed-tech company has paid all the dues for the tenure. The dues unpaid are only for the matches that were played after the contract expired. Those dues can be paid only after the new contract is signed.
