As of April 2019, BYJU’s claims to have crossed ₹200 crore in monthly revenue. It is estimating a revenue of over ₹3,000 crore by the end of this year, according to its press statement.

“60% of our students are from outside the top 10 cities. This high adoption rate is a clear indication that online learning is fulfilling a crucial need and is here to stay. We are also working on creating learning programs in multiple regional languages and we believe that this move will truly be a game changer in helping students learn in the comfort of their homes and in a language of their choice," said Byju Raveendran, chief executive of BYJU’S in a statement.
According to the company statement, BYJU's has over 35 million registered users and 2.4 million paid subscribers currently — up from 1.26 million in June 2018.
