BYJU'S unveiled Messi for Education For All after announcing layoffs. Critics turned the appointment into a spending story. Paid films and an Instagram post followed; ET later reported a contract freeze, and the company entered insolvency.

Documented milestone; not a measured attention peak. Some dates are known only to the week, month or year.
