Why Unacademy elevated Singh to the COO role

Jagnoor Singh, previously the Chief Business Officer for the Unacademy group, has been credited with significant growth in the company's offline centres.

Unacademy's offline business growth

Despite the challenges, CEO Gaurav Munjal highlighted the company's strong financial reserves, which are sufficient to sustain operations for several years without additional fundraising.
