Why Byjos took over Oppo's deal with BCCI

In 2017, Oppo spent a significant amount of money to sponsor the Indian cricket team's jersey. However, after a few years, Oppo felt that the deal was too expensive and wanted to exit. Byjos, a successful Indian ed tech firm, saw an opportunity and took over the remaining contract by paying millions to BCCI. Byjos, being a made in India brand, aimed to create an emotional connection with the Indian audience and leverage its already high valuation and international expansion plans to boost its brand through sports sponsorship.
