A federal judge has ruled that two educational apps, part of BYJU’S software empire, were wrongly transferred away from US lenders and must be returned to a court-supervised bankruptcy trustee.
A trustee for the affiliates filed a lawsuit alleging that the money that should be used to repay creditors was instead siphoned off to Whitehat Education Technology.
The apps generated around $1 million monthly revenue and $700,000 was moved from these entities into BYJU’S account.
This is a small part of the bigger battle between BYJU’S and US lenders, as the former owed $1.2 billion to the latter.
