Global investment group Prosus has put the fair value of its 9.67 per cent stake in BYJU'S at $578 million, which technically puts the current valuation of the edtech major at nearly $6 billion -- last valued at $22 billion -- but this is not the case as Prosus has changed its accounting treatment for BYJU'S.
