A leading innovator in education technology, Arpit Mittal has made a significant impact by tackling gaps in traditional systems. Recognizing the importance of English fluency in today’s global landscape, he founded SpeakX, a pioneering GenAI startup in 2023 to help non-native speakers overcome challenges related to social acceptance and career advancement due to language barriers.
Before founding SpeakX, Arpit's entrepreneurial journey included founding Edcited in 2011, an ed-tech company he launched in 2011, which quickly gained recognition and was ranked among the ‘Top 10 startups in the APAC region’ at the RISE Conference before being acquired by Cocubes in 2015. He followed this with Roofpik in 2016, described as ‘The TripAdvisor for real estate,’ which was honored as the ‘Startup of the Year’ by Entrepreneur.com and later acquired by Fastfox.com. Drawing on his extensive experience, Arpit has led SpeakX to impressive heights in just a year. Notably, the platform has achieved remarkable success, earning accolades such as the ‘Best EdTech Provider of the Year’ at the Elts 27th World Education Summit and a spot in Forbes India DGEMS 2023.
SpeakX has also been recognized with the ‘Indian Achiever's Award’ and included in the ‘HolonIQ Top 100 Edtech Startups.’ SpeakX, under Arpit's visionary leadership, uses advanced Speech Technology and Large Language Models (LLM) to offer personalized AI coaches and dynamic lessons. This innovative approach provides learners with tailored instruction that adapts to their individual needs, ensuring a more effective and engaging learning experience. With 24/7 availability and real-time feedback, the platform transforms language learning into an interactive journey. Arpit’s ambitions for SpeakX extend beyond current achievements. He envisions expanding the platform’s reach to regions such as Latin America, Indonesia, the UAE, and Europe, and integrating cutting-edge virtual reality modules to further enhance the learning experience. Supported by a $10 million investment from Elevation, IQ, and Good Waters, SpeakX is set to revolutionize English education globally, making high-quality learning accessible to all and helping users break down language barriers to achieve their full potential.
