The company delivers live, instructor-led language classes (one-on-one and group formats) through a proprietary web application (app.multibhashi.com) and an Android mobile app, covering more than 50 languages including Indian regional languages (Hindi, Kannada, Tamil, Telugu, Marathi, Gujarati, Sanskrit, Urdu, Nepali) and foreign languages (French, Spanish, German, Japanese, Chinese, Italian, Russian, Korean, Arabic, Portuguese, Dutch, Turkish). The platform leverages a network of 15,000+ CEFR B2+ certified language experts, supported by study materials, bilingual dictionaries, and CEFR/JLPT/TOPIK/DELE-aligned curricula.

The enterprise side, branded separately as Transchamp, provides corporate language training, content localization (translation, transcription, dubbing, multilingual voice, chatbot and app localization), and offline class aggregation through partner institutes across 10+ Indian cities. Revenue streams include individual course sales (subscription-style packages), corporate training contracts, and project-based localization services.

The company has raised a series of small seed and angel rounds between 2017 and 2021 from investors including Malpani Ventures, Startup Oasis, Axilor Ventures, RareJob, Inflection Point Ventures, Cactus Communications, and Dexter Angels, with only one round (September 2018, $139,692) having a publicly disclosed amount. It was selected for Google Launchpad Accelerator India's inaugural 2018 cohort and received regional recognition including the AIMYM Yuva Ratna Award and Women Planet Foundation Planet's Pride Award.

Regional players

• Duolingo: World's largest language learning app with hundreds of millions of users and an AI-first, gamified model. Represents the well-funded incumbent whose scale and pricing Multibhashi must compete against.
