Highlights
Edtech Unicorn: Unacademy, an Indian online learning platform, offers diverse courses and educational content for various subjects and competitive exams. Through video lessons and live classes, students access high-quality education conveniently from home. Additionally, Unacademy has expanded offline, with a presence in 43 cities, providing further accessibility. Its interactive approach and expert-led sessions make learning engaging and effective.
Financial Growth:
1. Revenue surged from ₹719 crore in FY22 to ₹907 crore in FY23, marking a robust 27% year-on-year (y-o-y) growth.
2. Profit After Tax (PAT) rose from ₹2,847 crore in FY22 to ₹1,678 crore in FY23, reflecting an impressive 85% y-o-y improvement. This enhancement is primarily attributed to expense reduction and an expanded student base.
Investment Thesis: The company appears significantly overvalued relative to its competitors. In the recent funding round, Unacademy received a revenue multiple of approximately 30x, while Physicswallah, the only profitable edtech company, obtained a multiple of 10x its revenue. Vedantu also secured a valuation of 40x its revenue, further highlighting the substantial overvaluation of Unacademy in comparison.
Emphasizing Cost Reduction and Expansion: According to an internal memo addressed to employees by Munjal last month, the company's reserves provide a cash runway of over four years. Munjal mentioned that this runway is expected to extend to eight years as the startup continues to decrease its cash burn, which is currently reduced by 60%, although specific details were not provided. Additionally, Munjal highlighted the growth of Unacademy's offline-centers business, which expanded from serving 6,000 learners in 2022 to 32,000 learners in 2023.
