In a strategic move that marks a new chapter for Unacademy, Hemesh Singh, the tech luminary and co-founder of the esteemed edtech firm, has decided to embark on a fresh trajectory. After nearly a decade of pioneering efforts alongside co-founders Gaurav Munjal and Roman Saini, Singh has made the choice to transition from his current role as Chief Technology Officer to a pivotal advisory position.
Singh shared this significant announcement via X, formerly known as Twitter, where he reflected on the remarkable journey of Unacademy and expressed his heartfelt appreciation for the opportunity to contribute to the company’s transformative mission. “After almost a decade of building Unacademy with Gaurav Munjal and Roman Saini, I have decided to move from an Executive Role to an Advisory Role,” Singh conveyed in his post.
His sentiments were echoed by Munjal, the CEO of Unacademy, who reminisced about their shared beginnings over a decade ago. “Hemesh and I started working together 11 years ago when we were building Flatchat. It has been a crazy ride, and I have been grateful to have a Co-Founder like you. Unacademy will miss you,” Munjal shared on X.
Unacademy, born in 2015 through the collaboration of Munjal, Saini, and Singh, has emerged as a game-changer in the realm of education technology. Singh’s decision to take on an advisory role marks a strategic shift for the company, signaling a fresh perspective and new avenues of growth.
The departure of Singh from his executive role comes amidst other notable changes within Unacademy’s leadership team. In recent months, the company witnessed the elevation of Sumit Jain to co-founder and the appointment of Pratik Dalal as Chief Financial Officer of its offline centers business.
As Unacademy continues to navigate the dynamic landscape of online education, Singh’s transition underscores the company’s commitment to innovation and evolution. With his wealth of experience and strategic insight, Singh’s advisory role is poised to shape the future trajectory of Unacademy, ensuring its continued success and impact in the education sector.
