- Unacademy is a leading Indian edtech platform focused on online learning, but its valuation has significantly dropped from a pandemic-era peak of $3.5 billion to below $500 million as of December 2025.
- In March 2026, Unacademy announced it will be acquired by rival upGrad in a 100% share-swap deal, with Gaurav Munjal continuing as CEO post-acquisition.

- Unacademy targets learners in India and globally, addressing the need for flexible, accessible education solutions, making it a key player for businesses looking to partner in the evolving online education landscape.
Business-oriented functions make up the single largest share of staff: Business Management accounts for about 22 % of all employees, followed by Sales & Support at 19 % and Education specialists at 18 %. Marketing & Product teams comprise 15 %, underpinning user acquisition and platform development initiatives. Technical depth is provided by an Engineering group of roughly 60 people (8 %), with Operations, Finance & Administration, Human Resources and Information Technology rounding out the remaining workforce. The distribution highlights a balanced focus on commercial growth, educator management and product innovation.
Around one-third of Unacademy’s employees are based in Bengaluru, reflecting its status as both headquarters and primary technology hub. A significant proportion—about 38 %—work from other or remote locations, illustrating the company’s flexible approach to talent deployment. Key metropolitan centres such as Delhi, Noida and Mumbai together represent just over 17 % of staff, while additional teams are located in Hyderabad, Kolkata, Jaipur, Pune and Indore. This spread supports nationwide operations and allows the organisation to serve learners and educators across multiple regions.
