Byju’s is in talks to raise $500 million in debt round through the TLB or Term Loan B from global investors as plans to launch an initial public offering (IPO), according to a source. TLB means a share of senior secured regulated credit facilities from global institutional investors. OYO was the first company to have raised this debt in India.
