Founded in 2010, Unacademy is India's largest online education platform, initially starting as a YouTube channel and evolving into a comprehensive resource for competitive exam preparation. It aims to make education accessible to all, particularly in rural areas where quality guidance is lacking, by offering free basic content and a paid premium version while employing a milestone-based payment system for educators. Backed by notable investors and recognized for its achievements in the edtech space, Unacademy stands out against competitors like Byju's by focusing on exam preparation and allowing users to choose their educators.
