Unacademy Share Price Grows with the Growth of Digital Edd-Sector in India

Traditional teaching methods in classrooms were the norm until the digitalisation of the education sector worldwide. However, the changing educational sector in India needed students not only to study in classrooms but also to get expert coaching and training to pass many competitive exams for higher studies and jobs. However, those living in rural areas could not have such opportunities as centres were only in big cities. Hence, they must travel long distances daily or shift to cities to join the centres to pass the competitive exams. Here, the digitalisation of the education sector, cheap internet connections, and increased use of smartphones and other gadgets increased online education in the comfort of home from any place. Also, the explosion of free social media on smartphones has become a boon for enabling students to pass tough, competitive exams. 

Unacademy was one of the pioneers in using such transformation to become a unicorn startup, with a few years of formation, and now planning to come out with an IPO. Because of their excellent content, over 50 million active learners across India and even abroad watch it. In 2017, a phenomenal rise from only one million active learners learning from 40,000 classes from 5,000 educators. In less than a few years, Unacademy has become the largest learning app, with massive funding from many rounds and acquisitions to provide quality education to students and job seekers. With the pandemic ending in 2021, many offline centres across India have also started to add additional revenue to increase profitability. Hence, buying Unacademy stock price has been continuously rising for the past few years and will yield more returns.
