UpGrad Completes Acquisition of Unacademy for Over $200 Million
UpGrad has completed its acquisition of edtech company Unacademy for just over $200 million, a significant drop from Unacademy's 2021 peak valuation of $3.4 billion. The all-stock, 100% share-swap deal follows months of negotiations and regulatory approval by India's Competition Commission. Unacademy CEO Gaurav Munjal will continue leading the company, which has improved its financial position with profitable segments and substantial cash reserves. The acquisition expands UpGrad's offerings into online test preparation and includes Unacademy's language-learning app, AirLearn.
