Unacademy co-founders Gaurav Munjal and Dr. Roman Saini are stepping down from their operational roles at the Bengaluru-based edtech firm, marking a significant leadership transition. This move comes as the company pivots from its online test preparation roots to a more capital-intensive offline coaching model. Sumit Jain, co-founder of Unacademy’s subsidiary Graphy, is set to assume the role of Chief Executive Officer. Entrackr
Munjal and Saini plan to focus on AirLearn, a standalone language learning app they are spinning off from Unacademy. AirLearn has reportedly achieved $2 million in annual recurring revenue and boasts 70,000 daily active users.
This leadership change follows a period of internal discussions and strategic realignment within Unacademy, as the company adapts to evolving market dynamics in the online education sector.
