Anushray, who is returning to Cuemath, built the engineering and product team and laid the foundation for the global math learning platform as CTO during his first stint in the company. He then moved to Udaan as product lead for their grocery vertical, where he played a key role in increasing market share while improving the business fundamentals. While Samir Kulshresth and Nisha Popli have already joined Cuemath, Janardan Singh and Anushray Gupta will join in January 2022.
Vivek replaced Manan Khurma as Cuemath’s new CEO in October 2021, while Manan continued in his role as Founder and Chairman. Manan and Vivek are announcing this significant reorganization of the top executives in the company to illustrate Cuemath’s strong growth potential.
Manan Khurma founded Cuemath in 2013, and he has been instrumental in its 10x growth since inception. While Vivek will continue to head the India operations, working closely with Manan to execute Cuemath’s growth strategy and global expansion, the new C-suite executives will report to Vivek in their respective roles.

Commenting on these new appointments, Manan Khurma, Founder and Chairman at Cuemath said, “Our vision, student-centric focus and learning outcomes have well positioned Cuemath as a leader in math tutoring. As we prepare for our next wave of growth, these changes in leadership are designed to strengthen governance at Cuemath 3.0 and provide support for our goal of spreading to 50 countries and growing to be a global math leader. With Vivek at the helm, supported by the able senior leadership talent, the company is poised to scale greater heights. I wish them the very best in their new roles.”
