Byju Raveendran, founder and chief executive of the eponymous edtech giant, has financed his recent $400 million investment in Byju’s through a debt he raised from multiple international banks, two sources familiar with the matter told TechCrunch.

On Friday, the startup announced it has raised $800 million in a new financing round, half of which it said was bankrolled by the founder.
