The embattled start-up has been looking since September to sell both Epic and Great Learning — a higher education and upskilling firm — to raise $1 billion to clear a $1.2 billion term loan
Byju's is in talks with three-four strategic buyers, including Joffre Capital Ltd and language learning platform Duolingo, to sell one of its key assets, US-based digital reading platform Epic, for about $400-$450 million, according to sources. With this, the beleaguered edtech firm wants to meet various commitments, including repaying its entire $1.2 billion term loan B (TLB) within six months. 'The binding offers of the bidders to acquire Epic are expected to come in the next few weeks after the due diligence is complete,' said a person familiar with the matter.
