This is the second exit among chief executive Gaurav Munjal‘s team of direct reportees since August when the startup’s chief operating officer Vivek Sinha took to LinkedIn and X (formerly Twitter) to announce his resignation.
The Unacademy CFO’s departure was first reported by online news website The Morning Context on Tuesday evening.
In an earlier post in August on LinkedIn, Sinha had said that the Bengaluru-based startup will be operating about 100 offline coaching centres by December, serving about 50,000 learners and employing about 3,000 full-time employees and educators.

Unacademy was founded in 2015 by Munjal, Roman Saini and Hemesh Singh.
The startup, like its peers in the test prep and K-12 segment, is currently undergoing a shift in strategy after multiple rounds of layoffs to prioritise the unit economics that put it on a path to profitability.
In June, Munjal had said that the company had reduced its monthly cash burn to Rs 1.9 crore, and clocked revenues worth Rs 130 crore in May.
