Category Standard

Vedantu is a verified 'Unicorn' EdTech platform with massive scale (35M+ users) and high real-world utility in the Indian education sector. While the submission itself was of extremely low quality (vague claims, lazy text), the underlying project's metrics—such as its $1B+ valuation and proprietary WAVE technology—warrant a high score. The score is dampened significantly by the post-COVID EdTech market correction and the lack of specific evidence provided in the form.
