BYJU’s Indian Team Sponsor

BYJU’S is a Bangalore based Indian multinational educational technology company. It was founded in 2011 by Byju Raveendran and Divya Gokulnath.

BYJU’S is also the jersey sponsor of the Indian national cricket team. BYJU’S replaced Oppo as the jersey sponsor of the Indian team in September 2019. Byju’s contract with the BCCI includes a payment of Rs 4.61 crore for a bilateral game and Rs 1.56 for an international game.

In March 2022, the BCCI decided to extend the jersey sponsorship of Byju’s to the Indian team. The sponsorship contract was due to expire after the India vs Sri Lanka series, which consisted of three T20Is and 2 Tests.
