Edtech startup BYJU’S raised an unsecured loan of Rs 300 crore from its wholly-owned subsidiary Aakash Educational Services for “principal business activities”.

According to the filings, the loan was granted at a 7.50% annual interest rate, according to the report. The latest development comes at a time when BYJU’S is focusing on cost-cutting measures in order to survive the funding winter.
