So I looked into how lenders destroy companies, and Byju's situation is the EXACT same playbook used on WeWork, RadioShack, Toys R Us. It's a pattern.

Byju's current situation reminds people of other companies that faced intense pressure from lenders, like WeWork, RadioShack, and Toys R Us.

In those cases, heavy creditor involvement played a big role in how things ultimately turned out. He has chosen to push back legally, and depending on how this plays out, it could change how founders think about taking on high-risk debt in the future.

I think, the real question now is how startups and lenders can create clearer rules, better safeguards, and more accountability going forward.
