Did you that India’s 31st unicorn, Unacademy has Indian cricket legend, Sachin Tendulkar as its strategic investor?

What started as a YouTube channel in 2010, has today become one of India’s leading names in the ed-tech space. Owned and operated by Sorting Hat Technologies, Unacademy was founded in 2015 by Gaurav Munjal, Hemesh Singh, and Roman Saini.

When Unacademy was yet to be incorporated and functioned as a YouTube channel, Gaurav was an engineering student in Mumbai. After he completed his studies, Gaurav worked as a software developer at Directi.

Along with Unacademy, he is also the founder of Flat.to, a company that was later acquired by the firm Common Floor.

Hemesh is an alumnus of Motilal Nehru National Institute of Technology whereas Dr. Roman has been a medical graduate who proceeded to crack the UPSC exam at the age of 21.

Despite this, he went on to quit his government job to join Unacademy and teach underprivileged students online.

Along with dedicated management, Unacademy’s success lies in how easy it made learning for students across the country. With more than 10,000+ educators and over 13 million users so far, the company has made its impact known in the ed-tech space.

Catering to 32+ competitive exams as of now, Unacademy has managed to provide more tests and exams to prepare students better.

It was in 2016 when Unacademy raised seed funding of $500K from Blume Ventures. Since then, it has managed to attract investors and consistently grow.
