New Delhi, Jul 12 (PTI) Edtech firm Byju's on Tuesday said it expects to get the USD 250 million investment committed by venture capital firms Sumeru Ventures and Oxshott by August-end, attributing the delay to "macro-economic reasons".

The edtech firm had in March announced a USD 800 million fundraise at a valuation of USD 22 billion from investors like Sumeru Ventures, Vitruvian Partners and BlackRock, with the company's promoter Byju Raveendran contributing half of the total amount.
