I have been directed to appear on 15 June and “appeal options are available.Raveendran was sentenced on Wednesday for contempt after allegedly failing to comply with multiple court orders related to his assets, Bloomberg reported.In his first media remarks after the court order, the edtech founder said that he was “disappointed” that the matter was being reported in a way that creates a misleading impression about him.“I am disappointed that the recent Singapore court matter has been pursued and reported in a manner that creates a misleading impression about me, especially at a time when all key parties have almost concluded the settlement discussions,” he said in a statement.He added that there was no wrongdoing on his part and that only a few residual minor issues were left to be finalised between certain parties in which, he said, he had no role.“The lenders, including GLAS Trust and QIA, as well as other stakeholders, have been in discussions with the founders and other parties. A settlement has been agreed in principle, with only a few residual minor issues left to be finalised between certain parties. I have no role in those remaining issues.”“As part of the settlement discussions, the parties have also acknowledged that there has been no wrongdoing on my part or on the part of the other founders.”He further said that it is “deeply unfortunate” that his matter is being used to create a contrary public narrative at this “sensitive” stage.
