Close on the heels of its latest acquisition, the company has onboarded a total of 80 employees for its teaching assistance and editorial content expertise, which comprises 35 from PrepOnline and 45 from Altis Vortex.

It specializes in giving comprehensive lectures and sessions on YouTube, the PW app, and the website for students aspiring for NEET, JEE Mains. It also has hybrid classes, aka Pathshalas, in 22 cities across India, and has covered over 10 lakh learners.

The startup’s main focus is to make the learning experience as economical as possible for all students. With its affordable courses like Lakshya, Udaan and Arjuna and many others, the firm has been able to provide a platform for lakhs of aspirants. From providing Chemistry, Maths, Physics formula to giving e-books of eminent authors like RD Sharma, RS Aggarwal and Lakhmir Singh, PW focuses on every single student’s need for preparation.

The latest deal marks the Noida-based company’s second acquisition. Earlier in August, it acquired Jaipur-based doubt-solving and resource management startup, FreeCo for an undisclosed amount.
