byteXL
byteXL is a Hyderabad-based education-technology company that partners with engineering colleges and universities to make students job-ready. Through a hybrid model of on-campus training, a cloud-based coding platform and guided placement support, it teaches emerging technologies such as AI/ML, cloud computing, cybersecurity and full-stack development - focused largely on students in India's tier 2 and tier 3 cities. Founded in 2019 by brothers Karun and Sricharan Tadepalli, byteXL aims to bridge the gap between what colleges teach and what the IT industry hires for.
Karun Tadepalli
Karun Tadepalli is the co-founder and CEO of byteXL, a Hyderabad-based edtech company that partners directly with engineering colleges across India to close the gap between what students learn and what the tech industry needs. After roughly two decades in the US working for companies like Accenture, Health Management Systems and AT&T, he left a corporate career to build a B2B skilling platform now used by more than 100,000 students. Under his leadership byteXL has partnered with dozens of institutions and, in 2024, teamed with Microsoft to launch AI and machine learning B.Tech specializations at universities across the country.
Cuemath
Cuemath is an after-school, live, one-on-one online math tutoring platform for students from kindergarten through grade 12. Founded in 2013 by IIT-Delhi alumnus Manan Khurma, the company teaches math (and coding) as a life skill through its proprietary Cuemath Leap classroom, where expert tutors cue rather than tell students toward answers. Backed by Google, Peak XV (formerly Sequoia Capital India) and Alpha Wave, Cuemath serves over 200,000 students across 80+ countries with a US Common Core-aligned curriculum.
