Thank you for your questions - 1. We have a partnership with one of the biggest co-working spaces here in India with 20,000 companies in their ecosystem. On top of that, we are comfortably onboarding 30 new companies every month with 5-10 openings on average with a one-person team. We will be monetizing the internships from corporates in Q3 this year. 2. We have a take-rate of 85% on each transaction and maintain 30% in net margins. 3. We are projecting $3.5M in the FY - Apr 2021 to Mar 2022 and that would be 4x our previous FY revenue. Our growth rate is on track as of today. The future for Unschool is to have 100s of courses on the platform with a depth-first approach. For example, Digital Marketing is one course on the platform today. But Digital Marketing has several subsets - Paid Adv, SEO, SMM, Organic mkt, etc; the idea is to create a funnel for learners to purchase one course after the other to become a pro. Eventually, by expanding our demographic, we want to go at working professionals looking to upskill/reskill in addition to college students and provide job opportunities.","author_name":"Rahul Varma","votes":1,"created_at":"2021-05-06T10:22:27Z"}]},{"id":140779,"entity_id":"wefunder:comment:140779","question":"I don't see neither Live sessions, nor Placement opportunities covered at https://www.unschool.in/.
