Edtech major UpGrad is in advanced discussions to acquire rival Unacademy in a deal that could value the test-prep platform at $300–400 million (₹2,800–3,500 crore), according to a media report that cites people familiar with the talks.

A term sheet is expected to be signed within the next three weeks, media reports said.

The proposed valuation marks a sharp drop from Unacademy’s $3.44 billion peak valuation in 2021, underscoring the sharp correction in India’s edtech sector following the pandemic-era boom.

As part of the potential deal, Unacademy’s language-learning app, AirLearn, will be carved out into a separate company, it has been reported.

A report further said that UpGrad will not hold any equity in AirLearn after the transaction.
