Edusity

What Edusity does

Edusity is a cloud-based Learning Management System (LMS) founded in 2019 and headquartered in Mississauga, Ontario, with additional offices in Katy, Texas and Vadodara, India. The platform unifies live webinars, self-paced course delivery, course authoring, and credential management in a single product aimed at three primary user groups: corporate enterprises (training, onboarding, compliance), educational institutions (schools, universities, professional development), and freelance instructors delivering courses direct-to-consumer. Core technical components include a drag-and-drop course builder supporting SCORM and xAPI standards, an integrated webinar engine with breakout rooms and recording, gamification mechanics, blockchain-based certificate verification, and white-label deployment options. The proprietary Languisity add-on provides real-time spoken-language translation into six languages during live sessions and is positioned as the company's flagship differentiator.

Edusity monetizes through a tiered subscription model: a free tier with 750MB storage, Pro at $399/year with 5GB and Languisity access, and Elite at $599/year with 15GB and 30-day recording retention, supplemented by custom-priced enterprise white-label contracts. The Teach for Free program enables instructors to monetize their own courses at 0% transaction fees, and the company has pursued an enterprise field-sales motion alongside its product-led self-serve funnel. Distribution is hybrid: direct self-serve sign-up on edusity.com, direct enterprise sales, white-label OEM-style deployments, and a regional reseller (Cyber Host Education in the UAE).

The company was co-founded by Arvind Betala (education-sector veteran since 1997) and Vishal Shah (technology training background and owner of Webmyne, a 140-employee IT integration firm). In February 2022, Edusity merged with The Babb Group, an academic consultancy, while retaining both brands; it also holds wholly-owned subsidiaries Cudoo and Professor's Services. The company remains privately held with no disclosed external funding and operates across North America, South Asia, the Middle East, and parts of Africa and Latin America.
