UpGrad Completes Acquisition of Unacademy for Over $200 Million After Valuation Decline
UpGrad has completed its acquisition of edtech company Unacademy for just over $200 million, a significant decline from Unacademy's peak valuation of $3.44 billion during the pandemic-driven boom. The all-stock deal, approved by India's Competition Commission, includes Unacademy's test-preparation offerings and the AirLearn app. Unacademy CEO Gaurav Munjal emphasized the company's improved financial health, with revenues around ₹400 crore and most segments profitable or near profitability, and will continue leading the business under UpGrad.
