The company — which was valued at <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/business/startups/news/byjus-backer-lightspeed-india-invests-in-a-live-tutoring-platform-teachmint/articleshow/78924152.cms">half a billion dollars</a> in October — has now acquired video engagement platform Airlearn for an undisclosed amount, a top executive of the company told Business Insider.<br /><br />With this acquisition, the entire team at Airlearn will become a part of Teachmint’s Teachstack. Airlearn’s cofounders Awadhesh Kumar and Somveer Payal are taking up critical roles as the direct of product and director of engineering, respectively. <br /><br />“Video talent is really rare, especially in India, where not a lot of people carry that expertise. The Airlearn team had that depth of operating in the same space,” Mihir Gupta, founder and chief executive of Teachmint told Business Insider. <br /><br /><strong>This is the third acquisition made by Teachmint this month.<br /></strong><br />Prior to this, it acquired course selling platform Teachmore and acqui-hired the Indian arm of Singapore-based Teachee. Both these companies enable teachers and educators to sell their educational products such as online classes. <br /><br />Mihir Gupta, the founder and chief executive of Teachmint, told Business Insider that acquisition of Teachmore and Airlearn has been to acquire the expertise of the team and the experience they bring in. <br /><br />The financial details of these transactions have not been disclosed. <br /><br />This is the first step to the company’s international expansion even though the acquired companies are based in India. Teachmint is currently working on building the right product market fit before we get deeper into our international markets, Gupta explained. <br /><br />        <div type="image" title="EXCLUSIVE | Teachmint has completed its third acquisition this month and it’s all part of its international play" msid="88560781" hostid="261"></div><br />Teachmint enables teachers to conduct online classes through a two-way interactive learning solution that allows video sharing and more. It also offers a tutoring management software-as-a-service (SaaS) to help teachers mark attendance, conduct tests, create virtual classrooms and more.<br /><br />It has also launched its core teaching solutions across 30 countries in Southeast Asia and Middle East — comprising Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam, UAE and Saudi Arabia. The company is currently focusing on organic growth in the international markets for now, but will plan out the next steps based on the initial response of the customers. <br /><br />The platform is used by individual teachers, schools, universities and other edtech platforms. However, the product is free for individual teachers and solopreneurs. Its solutions for enterprises like school, colleges and other mass online classes need to be paid for and offers several features — including attendance features, online quizzes, fee collection, records and stores lectures, among others.<br /><br />Teachmint has been able to cater to 10 million users, 4000 educational institutes across 5000 Indian cities and towns. It aims to reach 100 millions users — teachers, students and enterprises — as it expands further. <br /><strong><br />SEE ALSO<br /></strong><a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/stock-market/news/reliance-industries-sun-pharma-dr-reddys-and-other-hot-stocks-to-watch-out-for-on-december-29/slidelist/88556621.cms" data-type="tilCustomLink">Reliance Industries, Sun Pharma, Dr Reddy’s and other hot stocks to watch out for on December 29</a><u><br /><br /><a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/business/startups/news/nykaa-zomato-paytm-oyo-and-policybazaar-made-their-employees-millionaires/slidelist/88552831.cms" data-type="tilCustomLink">19 people who became millionaires by working for Indian tech startups</a><br /><br /></u><a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/finance/banks/news/there-is-a-small-pool-of-hope-amid-all-the-fear-around-rbl-bank/articleshow/88538626.cms" data-type="tilCustomLink">There is a small pool of hope amid all the fear around RBL Bank</a>

Edtech players in India had already expanded footprints in the global markets pre-COVID-19,” he added. <br /><br />Sydney-based maths learning platform Matific — which has operations across 60 countries — decided to enter India in 2019. <br /><br />Its chief executive Craig Shotland, talking about why Matific decided to expand to India, told Business Insider, “We see India as a key strategic market driven by factors like robust market potential, strong demand for edtech, and government policies like NEP. But most importantly the passion for education and learning, willingness to adopt technology, and strong affinity to gamified educational content makes it a great place to be right now.”<br /><br /><strong>What led to the rise of Indian edtech<br /></strong><br />Tamrakar of PGA Labs told Business Insider, “While these trends [National Education Policy, accessibility to education and teachers, demand in upskilling and remote learning] were already transforming the market pre-COVID-19, the lockdowns did to edtech what demonetisation did to the fintech sector in India [in 2016] – accelerate these decade-long shifts within a year.”<br /><br />Dexter Capital Advisors’ Agrawal noted that the edtech sector was forgotten till 2015 and the issue was whether the companies operating in this segment could scale up. He added that proven players like Byju’s were able to build investors' trust in the segment and show that India had an appetite for edtech as well.<br /><br /><strong>SEE ALSO<br /></strong><a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/business/startups/news/travel-app-ixigo-files-for-a-1600-crore-ipo/articleshow/85292327.cms" data-type="tilCustomLink">Travel app ixigo files for a ₹1,600 crore IPO</a><br /><a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/business/ecommerce/news/swiggy-reports-nearly-three-fold-increase-in-annual-revenue-in-neck-and-neck-race-with-zomato/articleshow/85233393.cms">Swiggy reports nearly three-fold increase in annual revenue, in neck and neck race with Zomato</a><br /><a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/careers/news/lenskart-aims-to-hire-over-2000-employees-to-ramp-up-its-operations/articleshow/85235059.cms">Lenskart aims to hire over 2000 employees to ramp up its operations</a><br />

From Byju’s to Eruditus — India now has four edtech unicorns, thanks to a $4 billion fund flowing in since 2020

Zepto, Dunzo among the next 122 unicorns from India — here's the complete Hurun list

<keyword id="6082395" type="COMPANY" weightage="20" keywordseo="The-Shapoorji-Pallonji-group">The Shapoorji Pallonji Group</keyword> on Thursday said it has submitted a plan to Supreme Court to end its seven decades-old association with the Tata Group. The Mistrys have valued their holding in the <keyword id="6360721" type="COMPANY" weightage="20" keywordseo="tatas">Tatas</keyword> at Rs 1.75 lakh crore, it informed the apex court, which is hearing the long-drawn legal battle between the two groups that began after the Tatas in a boardroom coup on October 28, 2016 sacked <keyword id="6356895" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="cyrus-mistry">Cyrus Mistry</keyword> as the Chairman. <br /><br /> "Tata Sons is effectively a two-group company, with the Tata Group comprising Tata Trusts, Tata family members and Tata companies holding 81.6 per cent of the equity share capital, and the Mistry family owning the balance 18.37 per cent," the <keyword id="261354" type="COMPANY" weightage="20" keywordseo="Shapoorji-Pallonji-Group">Shapoorji Pallonji Group</keyword> said in a statement quoting from its submission to the apex court. <br /><br /> The group has submitted a plan for separation from Tatas to the Supreme Court. <br /><br /> Tata Sons is the core investment company and is the holding company for the Tata Group and its value arises from its stake in listed equities, non-listed equities, the brand, cash balances and immovable assets. The value of 18.37 per cent stake of <keyword id="9314615" type="COMPANY" weightage="20" keywordseo="the-sp-group">the SP Group</keyword> in Tata Sons is over Rs 1,75,000 crore, it said. <br /><br /> In their scheme of separation, the SP Group said disputes over valuation can be eliminated by doing a pro-rata split of listed assets (share price value is known) and pro-rata share of the brand (brand valuation already done by Tata and published). A neutral third-party valuation can be done for the unlisted assets adjusted for net debt. <br /><br /> As a non-cash settlement, the SP Group sought pro-rata shares in listed Tata entities where Tata Sons currently owns stake. <br /><br /> For example, while Tatas own 72 per cent of TCS, the SP Group's ownership of 18.37 per cent in Tata Sons translates to 13.22 per cent shareholding of TCS, which is worth Rs 1,35,000 crore at present market capitalisation, as per the statement. <br /><br /> Pro-rata share of brand value adjusted for net debt can be settled in cash and/ or in listed securities, the statement said. <br /><br /> For the unlisted companies, an expedited valuation can be done with a valuer selected by both sides. This can be settled in cash and/or in listed securities, it added. <br /><br /><strong> SEE ALSO: <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/business/startups/news/byjus-backer-lightspeed-india-invests-in-a-live-tutoring-platform-teachmint/articleshow/78924152.cms" data-type="tilCustomLink">BYJU'S backer Lightspeed India invests in a live tutoring platform Teachmint</a></strong><b><br /> <br /> <strong><a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/india/news/covid-19-vaccine-updates-pfizer-moderna-to-roll-out-covid-19-vaccine-by-december/articleshow/78924143.cms" data-type="tilCustomLink">COVID-19 vaccine updates: Pfizer, Moderna to roll out COVID-19 vaccine by December</a></strong><br /> <br /> </b><a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/stock-market/news/dow-craters-943-points-in-worst-day-since-june-as-virus-spike-spurs-new-lockdowns/articleshow/78921995.cms" data-type="tilCustomLink"><strong>Dow craters 943 points in worst day since June as virus spike spurs new lockdowns</strong></a> <br />
