India’s Byju’s has agreed to acquire creative coding platform Tynker as it continues its expansion into edtech and educational games in the United States.

The Bengaluru, India-based company has grown to more than 100 million students with its kids educational games platform, and it has been on a buying spree as it expands well beyond India’s borders. The company didn’t disclose the purchase price for Mountain View, California-based Tynker, but it was in the “nine figures.” Other press reported the price was $200 million.
