In a rapidly globalizing world, fluent English communication is often the key to unlocking career opportunities. Yet, for many in India, mastering English has remained a daunting challenge. Enter Clapingo, an innovative platform founded by Sameer Agrawal and Abhishek KG, designed to empower professionals through personalized English tutoring. Launched in 2021, Clapingo has quickly become a game-changer, offering live, one-on-one sessions that cater specifically to the needs of its users.
Sameer Agrawal, CEO of Clapingo, draws from personal experience in shaping the platform’s mission. Faced with career setbacks due to inadequate English fluency despite academic success, Sameer envisioned Clapingo as a solution to bridge this critical gap. “Our goal is to provide accessible, individualized training that not only enhances English proficiency but also boosts confidence in professional settings,” explains Sameer. With over 22,000 learners benefiting from Clapingo’s services, the platform has demonstrated significant impact in a short span.
The platform stands out by offering affordable demo sessions for as low as Rs 99, allowing users to experience personalized tutoring firsthand before committing to subscription plans. Powered by advanced AI assessment tools, the platform ensures each session is tailored to the learner’s progress and needs. This approach not only facilitates learning but also creates a supportive environment free from judgment, crucial for overcoming language barriers.
The platform’s growth trajectory underscores its effectiveness and scalability. Starting with a revenue of INR 1.52 crore in FY 21-22, Clapingo surged to INR 8.2 crore in FY 22-23 and is projected to reach INR 14 crore in FY 23-24. With plans to expand across India, the Middle East, and soon Southeast Asia, Clapingo aims to tap into a substantial market opportunity valued at $45 billion. “Our recent funding rounds have further fueled our expansion plans,” notes Sameer, highlighting investments from notable figures like Biswa Kalyan Rath and Sandeep Aggarwal.
