BYJU's founders, Byju Raveendran and Divya Gokulnath, are preparing a lawsuit against Glas Trust and others for $2.5 billion, citing harm to their business and reputation. Legal actions are being pursued domestically and internationally, with Glas Trust contesting BYJU's claims in various jurisdictions.

In a significant legal battle, BYJU's founders, Byju Raveendran and Divya Gokulnath, have announced their intention to file a $2.5 billion lawsuit against Glas Trust Company LLC and other entities. The basis of the legal action is the alleged damage to their business reputation, as highlighted in a statement by their counsel.

The legal tussle extends across borders, with the founders seeking justice in India and international courts. BYJU's legal team has condemned the actions of Glas Trust, stressing that the accusations are fiercely contested by the company and its founders.
