Unacademy Founder Gaurav Munjal Chases Funds for Airlearn, Altering Original Plan

Unacademy Founder Gaurav Munjal Chases Funds for Airlearn, Altering Original Plan

Imagine a school called Unacademy.

The boss, Gaurav Munjal, wanted to start a new language-learning program called Airlearn.

Originally, Unacademy was going to give Airlearn some money, but the investors, who helped fund Unacademy, changed their minds.

Now, Munjal has to find money for Airlearn from outside investors.

The investors were worried about Munjal also investing in other companies.

Airlearn, which started as Unacademy Languages, is already popular and could help Unacademy make more money, but investors want to ensure Unacademy's core business, which provides test prep, can improve, too.

Munjal will remain involved with Airlearn, while Unacademy looks to appoint a new CEO.
