Bengaluru, India, April 1, 2020: Unacademy, India’s largest learning platform, today announced that it had crossed one billion minutes of watchtime of its content on its platform and across its YouTube channels in the month of March 2020.

To motivate and support the determination of the learners, in March, Unacademy conducted more than 100,000 Live Classes on the platform including over 25,000 Free Live Classes. Among the 100,000+ Live Classes, the leading exams of interest to the learners have been Bank exams, SSC exams, UPSC CSE, Railway exams, IIT JEE, and others.
