Overview

Unschool is a Hyderabad-based edtech/e-learning marketplace that offers NSDC-approved online certifications, skill courses, internships, and job programs for students and young professionals. Public funding and headcount figures vary across sources; I’ve used the most specific round-level sources for funding and the YC/company pages for team size.
