Unacademy Grievance Redressal Council (UGRC) is a first-of-its-kind initiative in the Indian EdTech sector to create a mechanism for Learners, Educators and other stakeholders to highlight their grievances and seek redressal.
UGRC operates with a three-tier redressal system with external independent oversight and is open to everyone, irrespective of whether the complainant is a paid subscriber, studies via Unacademy’s free content or is a general user.
The initiative is in line with the Government of India’s advisories and guidelines. Further, it also includes non-customers in its scope.
The organisation structure has been defined to ensure that every grievance is addressed in a timely manner and due diligence is given to every issue.
