Unacademy has elevated Arooshi Singh, its Director of people, experience and culture, as head of HR.
Earlier, the company appointed Abhishek Pipara as the chief financial officer (CFO) of its offline centres business.
The edtech giant has been undergoing a major restructuring for quite some time now.
Just a few days after elevating its executive Abhishek Pipara as the chief financial officer (CFO) of its offline centres business, edtech startup Unacademy
has now promoted its director of people experience and culture, Arooshi Singh, as head of HR.
“Arooshi has worn many hats and led multiple functions across HR with dedication, passion, and excellence. Her journey with Unacademy has been inspiring, and her impact on the team has been immense,” said Gaurav Munjal, founder and CEO of Unacademy, in an internal note seen by Inc42.
With an overall 13 years of experience, Singh has been associated with Unacademy for seven years. Previously, she spent more than 5 years teaching yoga and creating communities around it.
It is pertinent to note that the edtech giant has been undergoing a major restructuring for quite some time now. In July, Inc42 learnt that the company’s chief operating officer (COO) for offline centres, Jagnoor Singh, would be moving out.
This came just a little over a month after cofounder and chief technology officer (CTO) Hemesh Singh announced to quit and move back to advisory role.
Unacademy’s partner Sumit Jain replaced Singh as the cofounder– also getting a seat on the board.
Earlier this year, the company appointed CRED’s head of finance Pratik Dalal as chief finance officer of its offline business – Unacademy Centres.
Notably, The Peak XV Partners-backed edtech startup reduced its loss to INR 1,678.1 Cr in the financial year 2022-23 (FY23) from INR 2,847.9 Cr in the previous fiscal.
Unacademy was founded by Munjal, Hemesh Singh and Roman Saini in 2015. The edtech forayed into offline learning centres post pandemic in 2022. The company has its centres in about 40 cities in India, with a claimed network of more than 91,000 educators and over 99 Mn learners on its platform.
