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.

Urban Company’s InstaHelp hits 50,000 daily bookings

Urban Company’s InstaHelp hits 50,000 daily bookings Urban Company’s quick-service housekeeping vertical InstaHelp crossed 50,000 daily bookings, less than a year after its pilot launch in March 2025, according to the company’s co-founder and CEO Abhiraj Singh Bhal. With this, the company is likely to cross 1.5 million monthly bookings in coming months. For comparison, it recorded 1.61 million orders in the quarter ended December 2025. Launched as a pilot in Mumbai, InstaHelp expanded into select micro-markets across the top five cities, including Bengaluru, Delhi (National Capital Region), Hyderabad, and Pune. InstaHelp recorded around 51,520 bookings on February 22, 2026, according to a stock exchange filing. The service offers on-demand services such as cleaning, dishwashing, laundry, and meal preparation. “...We are investing to build a large, high-frequency category that deepens platform engagement and strengthens long-term growth with results starting to become visible with respect to improving unit economics and growing repeat usage,” said Abhiraj Singh Bhal, CEO & Co-founder, Urban Company Limited. In Q3 FY26, Urban Company reported a consolidated net loss of Rs 21 crore and an adjusted EBITDA loss of Rs 17 crore, mainly due to heavy investments in its InstaHelp vertical. Similar to quick commerce, the instant home services space has witnessed intense competition, as Snabbit and Pronto have also raised sufficient capital to compete with Urban Company. Overall, Urban Company registered a 32% surge in its revenue from operations to Rs 383 crore in Q3 FY26. During the period, InstaHelp scaled to Rs 28 crore in NTV and Rs 6.8 crore in revenue.
