ABOUT KHAN ACADEMY

Khan Academy is a fast-paced, nonprofit on a mission to provide a free, world-class education for anyone, anywhere. We already reach millions of students every month and are growing rapidly. We’re building a library of world-class instructional and practice resources that empowers learners. Whether they’re studying matrices, mitosis, or multivariable calculus, we want to offer students the resources to realize that they can learn anything.

ABOUT KHAN ACADEMY INDIA

Khan Academy India aims to deliver a world-class user experience to learners in India that is locally relevant and is enabled by a strong on-the-ground team and operations. Our learning system is mastery-based, which allows students to master key concepts at a pace that’s right for them before moving on to more challenging content. From serving under 500,000 learners in 2016, we now serve over 4 million learners a month across our websites, apps, and YouTube channels. These learners include both independent learners accessing us at home and teacher-directed learners in schools. Our focus is to reach the underserved by making our content accessible in local languages. Khan Academy is already available in English, Hindi, Hinglish, Kannada, Gujarati, Tamil, Marathi, Odia, Assamese, and Punjabi.

From our government partnerships, we have reached over 8.4 million learners, partnering with 22,000+ schools across various states. Our goal is to continue expanding our scale and deepen impact across partner states.

We learn and constantly iterate by gathering feedback and through data-backed insights and efficacy studies.
