Divya Gokulnath: India’s richest woman entrepreneur who co-founded Byju’s

The inspiring story of Divya Gokulnath, co-founder and director of Byju's, is a true testament to the power of hard work and dedication. Starting out as a teacher at Byju's when the company was just an offline outfit, Divya worked tirelessly to learn the intricacies of technology and then combined it with education to create one of the most successful edtech companies in the world.

Today, Byju's has a market valuation of $23 billion, a staggering figure that is a testament to the company's success. This is even more impressive considering that this figure is more than what its sales were in FY22. As per LiveMint, Byju's valuation increased steadily by 36% over the previous eight months.

It's no surprise then that Divya Gokulnath is one of India's richest female startup entrepreneurs, with a net worth of Rs 4,550 crore, as per the Kotak Hurun survey. But her success didn't come easy. Born into a middle-class family in Bengaluru, Divya attended Frank Anthony Public School before going to the RV College of Engineering in Bengaluru for her graduation.

After graduating in 2007, she met Byju Raveendran, an educator who would soon become her husband. In 2008, Divya started teaching at Byju's when the company was still an offline outfit. She was just 21 years old at the time, but her passion for education and her dedication to her craft soon made her an integral part of the company.

In 2011, Divya and Byju created the online education platform that would change the world of edtech forever. She appeared in videos as a teacher and was in charge of user experience, content, and brand marketing during the COVID-19 lockdown in India. Her hard work and dedication paid off, and she was selected to serve as the Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce & Industry's EdTech Taskforce leader in March 2022.

Divya's journey from a humble teacher to one of India's most successful edtech entrepreneurs is truly remarkable. It serves as an inspiration to anyone who dreams of making a difference in the world of education. Her story is a testament to the power of hard work, dedication, and the relentless pursuit of excellence.
