In what would be its third acquisition this month, edtech startup Teachmint bought video engagement platform Airlearn for an undisclosed sum, the company said in a statement on Wednesday.

Airlearn was founded by Awadhesh Kumar and Somveer Payal in 2020. The platform offers live teaching and learning solutions to edtech organisations.

With this buyout, Airlearn becomes a part of Teachstack, an offering by Teachmint, with Kumar and Payal being director of product and director of engineering, respectively. Teachmint looks to bolster its Teachstack portfolio, to enable edtech companies to build classrooms equipped with modern technologies for users across the globe, the statement said.

With this acquisition, combined with our robust proprietary technology stack, we are truly excited to make education infrastructure the next big export from India,” said Mihir Gupta, CEO and Co-Founder, Teachmint.

Over the last few months, Teachmint has deepened its engagements with multiple growing edtech start-ups across Asia, including Bangladesh-based Shikho and Ostad, as well as Malaysian edtech Pandai, the company said.

Earlier this month, Teachmint acquired course-selling platforms Teachee and Teachmore.
