Unacademy is an online learning platform that provides educational content such as video lectures and examinations. Classroom learning is seen as a hindrance by many to discovering new things. Besides, a lot of students also go unnoticed this way and eventually fail to explore the world around them with the lack of attention and opportunity they get in a physical class.
Furthermore, when it comes to competitive examinations, many students in remote places are even unaware of the best teachers and updated methods to crack these exams. Unacademy unscrambles these problems with its online learning platform with the top educators in the country. The company offers courses and lectures for several competitive examinations such as CAT, JEE, NEET, CLAT, UPSC CSE/IAS, IBPS/SBI, RRB and video classes on various subjects, thus empowering the students to excel in this competitive world.

Later on, in 2015, the company was registered in Bengaluru as an education company. The company has entered the Unicorn club in September 2020 after it raised $150 million from Softbank and other existing investors. Unacademy substantiates to be exclusive in its educational services and confronts several competitors across the nation.
