Between September 1 and 21 2026 I posted a series of short replies on X that reflected my views on Unacademy, its ecosystem, and a speculative “agentic shopping” model that could reshape e‑commerce. The tone was celebratory and nostalgic, often ending with emojis.
there's a future where nobody goes to amazon anymore and just shops via their agent who (in the background) taps into the database of products across ALL shopify stores.
while amazon blocks agentic shopping, shopify fully embraces it.
All the best on the partnership, and a colleague as you both continue to disrupt edtech.
Businesses exit, founders don’t. Kudos on shaping the Edtech space.
Now that you have a lot of chips, let’s do the poker night soon!
Celebrating every kind of outcome is critical for a healthy startup ecosystem.
I remember the first time I went to the 3bhk office when Unacademy had just started.
There were TVs all over with live metrics on number of learners, all parts of India they came from and the amount of time they spent learning on a platform which was just a few months old.
Unacademy acquired the company I had built.
I worked with a colleague and another colleague for a short period at Flatchat before they left to start Unacademy.
Some journeys take a long time to come full circle. This one started in 2020, over lunch at a venue in Mumbai, when a colleague reached out to a colleague and me about Unacademy and upGrad coming together.
