The Story
A journey from Rajasthan to reshaping India's education landscape
Bhunesh Sharma is one of India's most impactful education entrepreneurs — a man who has built platforms that have touched millions of lives, not once but repeatedly, across multiple ventures.
Born and raised with a deep connection to Rajasthan's aspirational youth, Bhunesh saw first-hand how access to quality education could transform lives. That insight became his life's mission.
He co-founded WiFiStudy in 2016, which grew into one of Asia's largest educational YouTube channels — 15M+ subscribers and 1B+ views — before being acquired by Unacademy in 2018. Post-acquisition, he helped scale the platform nationally before embarking on his next chapter.
In 2022, he launched Class24 — a hybrid education platform serving K-12, competitive exam aspirants, and skill learners — which crossed 1.3 million app downloads and a $20M valuation within two years.
But perhaps most telling of his character is Smile For All Society, his NGO, which has impacted 1.5 lakh+ children across 250+ cities — and even won the Right to Education case in Rajasthan.
"Education should not be a privilege of geography, income, or background — it must be a fundamental, measurable, and scalable right."
