Unacademy in talks to merge with Orchid schools owner K12 Techno

Edtech unicorn Unacademy is in discussion to merge with K12 Techno, which runs the chain of Orchids International Schools, three sources told Entrackr. This would be the first major consolidation in the edtech space which has been witnessing funding drought in the past two years.

“The two companies have been discussing the terms of the merger for the last four weeks,” said one of the sources requesting anonymity. “If the merger gets through, both companies will own 50% each in the joint entity.”
