The NCPCR summoned Raveendran on December 17 (Saturday) and gave him until 2 p.m. on December 23 (Friday) to appear before the commission and explain the allegations levelled against the edtech decacorn. The NCPCR has directed Raveendran to provide information about the courses offered by BYJU’s, as well as the structure of those courses, fee details and refund policies, the number of students enrolled, and other pertinent documents.
