Toppr

Founded in 2013 by Zishaan Hayath and Hemanth Goteti, Toppr is an Indian edTech company that offers students a personalised learning experience for exam preparations. This includes competitive examinations such as JEE, NEET, CA Foundation, and Olympiads.

The platform provides students with interactive content that aids students in grasping concepts in an easy and effective manner. The platform’s performance analytics allow parents, teachers, and students to get detailed reports of the student's progress and thereby help take necessary action.

The application grew popular among the young generation. Especially during the pandemic when digital platforms and ed-tech were in high demand, there was a significant surge in app usage.

Being a digital media platform, users can access it from different devices and from any location, which increases its accessibility.

In July 2021, the adaptive learning platform was acquired by Byju’s. And nearly a year after that, the company also started seeing mass layoffs with Byju’s firing 300 people from Toppr. This was a part of the integration and consolidation process of the new group companies.

Among the company’s investors are Brand Capital, The Times Group, Alteria Capital, and Helion Ventures. Some of the major competitors of Toppr are Vedantu, CueMath, SpeedLabs, and Unacademy.
