Google Startup Accelerator Selects SpeakX

A platform revolutionising English learning through generative artificial intelligence (AI) technology, SpeakX has been selected for the prestigious Google startups accelerator. This exciting initiative, recently started by Google, is designed to support android app startups in India. 

SpeakX joined a cohort of 20 innovative startups that will receive tailored guidance and support over a three-month journey, collaborating closely with teams from android and Google Play to enhance product development and growth strategies.

Founded by Arpit Mittal, SpeakX claimed to achieve remarkable growth, surpassing 10,000 paid subscribers monthly and generating an annual recurring revenue (ARR) of USD 500,000 in under eight months.

“Technology can truly change the face when it comes to education, especially for those who have been left behind. Right now, only 8 per cent of people in India speak English well, which means a lot of people miss out on key opportunities for education, jobs, and personal growth. At SpeakX, we are tackling this head-on,” said Mittal.

As a participant, SpeakX will benefit from Google’s technical expertise and cloud credits, further enhancing its mission to empower users with personalised and engaging English learning experiences. With 50 per cent of its user base coming from tier-2 and tier-3 cities, SpeakX is dedicated to making English education accessible to a diverse audience, including individuals from middle-income households.

The program commenced with an intensive boot camp at the Google Bengaluru office, focusing on equipping startups with the necessary tools to scale their apps effectively. SpeakX aims to extend its transformative approach to global markets, including Latin America, Indonesia, the UAE, and Europe.
