New Delhi: Edtech major Unacademy on Tuesday announced acquisition of majority stake in professional networking platform TapChief.

As part of the deal, Unacademy will acquire a majority stake in TapChief, and enable the exit of all existing investors, a statement said.

TapChief leverages a host of technology solutions to empower professionals to interact and learn from experts, work with businesses from across the world, and aggregate their personal brand online.
