Comic Samay Raina turned a significant enterprise milestone right into a viral roast of his mates. Congratulating Unacademy co-founders Gaurav Munjal and Roman Saini on the platform’s buyout, Samay shared an image with the duo, pairing it with a savage, tongue-in-cheek jab on the high-profile edtech sale.
“Congratulations to my buddy @gauravmunjal for promoting his firm @unacademy for simply 200 million {dollars} when he might have offered it earlier at 3.4 billion {dollars} (sic),” Samay’s Instagram story learn.
The cheeky submit didn’t go unnoticed by Munjal, who appeared to play together with the comic’s humour. Sharing the comic’s submit on X, the Unacademy co-founder wrote, “Who wants enemies when you’ve got such mates.”
The playful alternate between the 2 mates shortly grew to become the spotlight of the interplay with Samay’s congratulatory message carrying a beneficiant dose of sarcasm.
Edtech firm upGrad has formally acquired rival Unacademy in an all-stock deal price about $206 million (Rs 1,955 crore). Unacademy CEO Gaurav Munjal confirmed that the deal has closed after six months of talks. As a part of the settlement, Unacademy shareholders acquired upGrad shares, whereas angel traders have been paid out in money.
Launched in 2015, Unacademy burned significant cash in the course of the 2020–2021 pandemic increase, fiercely competing with rivals like Byju’s as on-line training surged. However when bodily school rooms returned and on-line demand crashed, the corporate was pressured to chop bills, lay off workers, and overhaul its operations.
