Sashi Reddi’s Boss Wallah Acquires Edtech Platform ffredom

Serial entrepreneur and investor Sashi Reddi’s venture Boss Wallah has signed a formal agreement to acquire edtech platform ffreedom from Suvision Holdings. 

In a statement, the company said that Reddi and “associates” will infuse $7 Mn (around INR 60 Cr) in Boss Wallah as an initial investment. However, there was no clarity on the financial contours of the deal. 

“There are dozens of platforms for JEE and government exams. But what India needs is people looking to build businesses that provide employment and earn an income. That is what the Boss Wallah platform will do,” said Boss Wallah founder and CEO Reddi.

While its website is yet to be operationalised, Boss Wallah claims to be building a platform that will provide budding entrepreneurs from Tier-II & III towns access to domain experts for building successful businesses. 

Meanwhile, ffreedom is an edtech platform that offers nearly 1,000 courses across farming, business, and personal finance to users across a wide variety of vernacular Indian languages. Just like Boss Wallah, it onboards industry experts, with an emphasis on creating micro and nano entrepreneurs.

In a statement, Boss Wallah said that the acquisition will enable the company to scale up its presence across categories such as digital businesses, home-based businesses, small scale manufacturing, handicrafts, farming, animal husbandry, retail, and food businesses. It also claimed that its upcoming platform will provide access to thousands of experts across multiple business domains. 

Previously, Reddi founded software testing platform AppLabs and sold the company to US-based technology services provider CSC (now DXC) in 2011 for an undisclosed sum. Currently, he also serves as an advisor to VC firm WestBridge Capital.

Reddi is also the founder and managing partner of SRI Capital, an early stage venture capital firm based in the US. The investment firm has invested in startups such as news aggregation platform Way2News, Fab Hotels, Healthify, among others. 

Boss Wallah will operate in the larger edtech space. The development comes at a time when the Indian edtech space has been witnessing a consolidation wave amid the ongoing rut within the overall sector. 

While BYJU’S is facing insolvency proceedings and Unacademy was said to be mulling sale, niche and segment specific edtech startups have been seeing investor interest. While Leap secured $65 Mn in its Series E round led by Apis Partners in January 2025, BrightChamps acquired Mumbai-based K12 education platform Edjust last month in a cash and stock deal, marking its fourth acquisition.
