Edtech platform Vedantu aims for 1 million paid users by March, 2022

Online live tutoring platform Vedantu has seen significant growth in the number of users coming to the platform, and the company aims for its paid userbase to touch one million by March next year.

Vedantu, which competes with players like Byju’s, has also launched a national initiative – V.O.T.E (Vedantu Online Talent Exam) that will include an assessment exam for students of grades 5-12.

“2020 and the pandemic has had a major impact on the industry and the company. This is the year when the category and the category awareness shot through. The challenge was around making parents aware and understand the format, and get them to trust the format because their default was to go to an offline tutoring or coaching centre,” Vedantu Chief Executive Officer and co-founder Vamsi Krishna told PTI.
