Eruditus clocks Rs 3,733 Cr revenue in FY24, narrows losses by 83% Global edtech company Eruditus recorded modest year-on-year growth in its operating revenue, crossing the Rs 3,700 crore ($448 million) mark in the fiscal year ending June 2024. The Mumbai-based firm narrowed its losses by over 83% during the same period. Compared to FY23, the firm’s operating scale grew by 12% to Rs 3,733 crore, according to its annual financial statement sourced from Singapore. Eruditus follows a financial year that runs from July to June. The firm appears to be ahead of the leading edtechs, with revenue nearly 1.8 times that of PhysicsWallah and more than double that of upGrad. PhysicsWallah reported Rs 2,015 crore revenue in FY24 whereas upGrad registered Rs 1,487 crore revenue in the same period. Eruditus offers education across more than 80 countries to over a million learners. It partners with over 80 universities across the United States, Europe, Latin America, Southeast Asia, India, and China. The firm didn’t offer revenue break-up across geographies. The company deferred recognition of Rs 800 crore ($96 million) in collected revenue to the last fiscal year (FY25). Eruditus made progress in controlling its expenses as its marketing expenses dipped 18.85% year-on-year to Rs 1,007 crore in FY24 from Rs 1,241 crore in FY23. Other operating expenses were down by 32.16% year-on-year to Rs 1,045 crore in FY24 from Rs 1,541 crore in FY23. The cost optimizations led to a sharp improvement in the company’s bottom line. Eruditus narrowed its adjusted EBITDA losses by 83.45% to Rs 69 crore ($8.3 million) in FY24 from Rs 417 crore ($50 million) in FY23. With backing from investors such as TPG, the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, SoftBank Vision Fund 2, Prosus Ventures, Accel, and Peak XV, Eruditus has the capital reserve to expand its presence and offerings across markets. In October 2024, it raised $150 million in the second-largest edtech deal of the year, after PhysicsWallah’s $210 million funding. With revenue approaching $500 million and an 83% reduction in losses, the company shows a path toward sustainable growth in the edtech industry. Heading into FY25 with deferred revenue, Eruditus is on track to achieve profitability while building on its revenue base.

Unacademy slashes core biz cash burn to Rs 200 Cr in 2025: Gaurav Munjal

Unacademy slashes core biz cash burn to Rs 200 Cr in 2025: Gaurav Munjal Unacademy CEO Gaurav Munjal has shared an update on the company’s financial and operational performance. According to Munjal, Unacademy has reduced its cash burn in the core business from over Rs 1,000 crore annually three years ago to under Rs 200 crore this calendar year. This is about half of what the company spent last year. In a thread on social media platform X, Munjal said the company currently has Rs 1,200 crore in the bank and is in a “default alive” state. He added that some of Unacademy’s businesses, including Graphy and PrepLadder, are generating cash on a monthly basis. For context, the SoftBank-backed edtech unicorn cut its losses by 62% to Rs 631 crore in FY24, while its revenue remained flat during the period. Reflecting on past decisions, Munjal said edtech companies that grow through multiple acquisitions are unlikely to succeed in the current market. He said Unacademy had made this mistake earlier and is now focusing on profitability without getting distracted by external developments. On the offline front, Munjal said that around 70% of Unacademy’s centers are expected to be profitable at the center level this year. These centers are showing outcomes in exam categories such as JEE, NEET, and UPSC. He also pointed to Airlearn as the fastest-growing product within the group. Airlearn has recorded nearly 70,000 daily active users and $2 million in annual recurring revenue over the last 12 months. Munjal outlined three focus areas for the company: making the core business profitable, building tech products such as Airlearn and Graphy, and staying focused on internal goals instead of market noise.

Unacademy narrows down losses by 62% in FY24; revenue remains flat
Medial

Unacademy recorded Rs 988.4 crore in total revenue during FY24, a 5.33% decline compared to Rs 1,044 crore in FY23. However, the SoftBank-backed firm cut its losses by 62%, reducing them to Rs 631 crore in the fiscal year ending March 2024 from Rs 1,678 crore in FY23. Unacademy managed to narrow its losses through cost-cutting measures, including restructuring, according to a document reviewed by Entrackr. According to TheKredible, Unacademy’s operating revenue grew by 26.15% to Rs 907 crore in FY23, up from Rs 719 crore in FY22. Unlike FY23 and FY24, the firm’s revenue has now been largely dependent on the offline model. Unacademy’s online business grew massively during the pandemic (FY21 and FY22), but the entire edtech space lost momentum after the reopening of offline educational institutions, including coaching centers and colleges. The company’s EBITDA loss also improved, decreasing to Rs 489 crore during FY24 from Rs 1,553 crore in FY23. At the same time, the edtech firm had Rs 1,573 crore in cash and cash equivalents as of March 2024. Unacademy connects educators and learners in various fields by offering a range of courses. The company generates revenue through subscriptions to both online and offline learning services. According to documents, FY24 marked a significant improvement in cost efficiency, and the cost rationalization initiatives undertaken during the year are expected to yield positive results in FY25 and beyond. For context, in August 2024, Unacademy announced it would not be providing appraisals for employees in 2024. Founder Gaurav Munjal stated that the company has a strong financial runway and is not at risk of survival. To streamline operations and improve efficiency, the Bengaluru-based company also laid off 250 employees. These financial developments come at a time when Unacademy is considering merger and acquisition opportunities. In June, Entrackr exclusively reported that the SoftBank-backed firm was in early talks to merge with K12 Techno, which runs the chain of Orchids International Schools. In terms of fundraising, Unacademy has not raised capital for over three years. Its last equity round was a $440 million Series H in August 2021, at a valuation of $3.44 billion.
