Unacademy encourages youth to join armed forces; live classes by ex-defence officials

Unacademy, an ed-tech platform is working with the vision of providing access to quality education to students across the nation. Millions of students in India appear for various entrance examinations across disciplines every year. However, only a fraction of these students has access to adequate guidance to prepare for these exams.

At present, there are more than 18 million students and 25,000 educators on the platform. The educators teach across 30+ categories, helping students progress in their journey of achieving academic goals. Among the 25,000 educators, there are people who come with different qualifications and specializations and Unacademy as a company provides these educators with an opportunity to not only earn a livelihood, but also share their knowledge with millions of aspirants.
