Neostencil

NeoStencil was founded by Kush Beejal in 2015 and offers test prep courses for entrance examinations, government jobs, law exams and more. While Unacademy has not revealed any financial details of the transaction, NeoStencil would add to its arsenal of test prep platforms. "I have known Kush and Love for the past 3 years and have been fortunate to see their journey from the sidelines. It's great to have them as a part of the Unacademy Group," Munjal added. In 2020 alone, the edtech unicorn and the second most valued edtech startup in India acquired six startups, including NeoStencil. It led the startup acquisitions chart for 2020, beating out BYJU'S and other startups. In July, Unacademy acquired PrepLadder, a postgraduate medical entrance exam preparation platform for $50 Mn. The acquisition is expected to strengthen Unacademy's presence in the medical entrance examinations categories such as the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) for medical postgraduate courses. In the same month, Unacademy acquired a majority stake in K12 learning platform Mastree for $5 Mn. Mastree is building a one-stop subscription product for STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics) courses, for classes 5-8.
