Aakash was founded in 1988 by J.C. Chaudhry in Delhi as a coaching institute for medical/engineering entrance exams. Blackstone took a ~37.5% stake in 2019, and Byju's (Think & Learn) acquired it in 2021 in a deal valued near $1 billion; ownership has since been restructured with the Manipal group (Ranjan Pai) taking a major stake amid Byju's troubles.
Momentum is derived from funding recency, velocity, round count and scale. Risk reflects registry status and funding staleness.

How to read this. Each figure compares the first and the last Web Traffic Rank reading we hold for this company. Web Traffic Rank is a POSITION, so a smaller number is better: a company shown as improving has moved DOWN the rank, from a larger number to a smaller one. We are working from 1 dated reading (both in 2026-07). Two readings are a before and an after. This is a change, not a trend.
