Vernacular ed-tech platform for competitive exams across India
Adda247 operates India's largest multilingual learning platform, delivering exam prep across 500+ government job, UPSC, IIT JEE, NEET, and college entrance programs in 12 Indian languages. The hiring mix—marketing-heavy with paid acquisition focus—and active projects (paid marketing optimization, user acquisition scaling, YouTube SEO) reflect a growth-stage company prioritizing customer acquisition over infrastructure. Pain points center on paid marketing ROI and organic visibility, suggesting tension between unit economics and reach in a price-sensitive, Tier II+ market.
