In a globalized world where English fluency often defines opportunities, SpeakX has redefined language education, setting a new standard for how people approach learning. Founded in 2023 by visionary entrepreneur Arpit Mittal, SpeakX leverages Generative AI technology to deliver a deeply personalized and interactive English learning experience.

Meeting the Language Learning Needs

Arpit Mittal’s previous ventures, such as Edcited and Roofpik, inspired him to create a platform that addresses the language barriers faced by millions of students and professionals in smaller cities. A key driver of SpeakX’s mission is the realization that, in today’s competitive world, English proficiency is no longer just an asset but a fundamental requirement. According to the “English at Work: Global Analysis of Language Skills in the Workplace” survey (2016), involving feedback from 5,000 employers across 38 countries, candidates with strong English skills are offered better job prospects, quicker career advancements, and higher salaries. In fact, half of employers reported offering higher starting salaries to those proficient in English, and 46% noted these employees advanced more quickly through job ranks. This data highlights the critical role English fluency plays in shaping career trajectories and bridging socio-economic gaps. Recognizing this pressing need and the significant gap in accessible language education, SpeakX is offering a solution tailored to the needs of millions. 

By leveraging advanced Generative AI technology, SpeakX has rapidly captured the market, delivering personalized learning experiences to meet the growing demand for English proficiency. SpeakX utilizes Speech Technology and Large Language Models (LLMs) to provide a deeply personalized experience, with features like real-time feedback and adaptive lessons, ensuring that each learner’s needs are met. Priced at ₹299 per month, SpeakX is an affordable option for learners all over India where quality educational resources are often inaccessible. Backed by an annual recurring revenue (ARR) of $500,000 and a $10 million investment from Elevation, IQ, and Good Waters, SpeakX is poised for continued growth.

Reaching Learners Across India

SpeakX has resonated particularly well with users from Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities, where nearly 50% of its diverse audience resides. This speaks to the platform’s ability to meet the needs of underserved populations eager to improve their English skills. The personalized learning paths powered by AI allow learners to progress at their own pace, receiving lessons that match their individual needs. Regular assessments and real-time feedback ensure learners stay on track, making steady progress in their language journey.

Supporting Career Growth

The platform’s impact is evident through the success stories of its users. For example, Akash, an aspiring IT professional from Hyderabad. Before using SpeakX, he struggled with English fluency, particularly in interviews. This lack of confidence had a direct effect on his job prospects. However, after regular use of SpeakX, Akash saw remarkable improvements. “SpeakX helped me reach my language goals and get my dream IT job,” he says, now able to confidently communicate during interviews and in his workplace.

Similarly, Priya, a small business owner in Surat, found SpeakX invaluable in helping her communicate with international clients. As her English improved, so did her ability to manage global partnerships and expand her business. “SpeakX has been a game-changer for my business. It is not just about learning English; it’s about expanding horizons,” Priya shares.

How AI Enhances the Learning Experience

SpeakX’s use of Generative AI is one of its standout features, allowing the platform to offer personalized, real-time feedback that adapts to each learner’s needs. This approach ensures that learners receive targeted support, whether they need to focus on grammar, pronunciation, or fluency. Unlike traditional learning methods that follow a one-size-fits-all model, SpeakX tailors the learning experience to maximize individual growth.

Features such as voice recognition, which tracks pronunciation improvements, and an AI-powered companion provide learners with real-time feedback and personalized support. The adaptive difficulty levels ensure that the learning material evolves with the user, helping them gradually overcome challenges. Multilingual support enables users to start learning English from their native language, reducing initial barriers and enhancing engagement. Additionally, the platform helps users improve their vocabulary and grammar through targeted exercises, while the AI companion allows them to practice conversational skills in real-time, mimicking everyday interactions to build fluency more effectively.

The platform also incorporates gamified elements, such as points, leaderboards, and interactive features like crosswords, quizzes, and puzzles, to make learning more engaging. By offering a variety of dynamic lessons, multimedia content, and interactive activities, SpeakX keeps learners motivated and involved, ensuring that language learning is both enjoyable and effective.

Looking Ahead

Although SpeakX has already made significant strides in India, it is looking to expand into international markets, including Latin America, Indonesia, the UAE, and parts of Europe. The platform is also exploring the integration of virtual reality to create a more immersive learning experience.
