Business Overview
Partial / conflicting- Incorporated Feb-2021 as a subsidiary of a foreign parent ("Fanplay Inc" — MCA classifies it as "subsidiary of a company incorporated outside India")
- Traded under the consumer brand "FunctionUp," a pay-after-placement coding/data-science bootcamp founded by Bharat Gupta and Pritesh Kumar in 2020, based out of Bengaluru with registered office in Noida, UP
- Business model: intensive full-stack/data-science training with placement-linked fees (ISA-style)
- Important recent development (partial/unverified via primary filing, but corroborated by multiple news mirrors — EdTechReview, Digital Terminal, Infomance): in 2024 the FunctionUp bootcamp/education assets were acquired/absorbed by Classplus and the consumer product was rebranded "Polaris School of Technology" (a 4-year B.Tech program founded by Classplus co-founders Mukul Rustagi and Bhaswat Agarwal)
- The company's own website (functionup.org) now redirects/serves as a legacy landing page announcing this transition
- It is not confirmed from a primary filing whether this was an asset sale, a brand licensing deal, or a merger — this is flagged as a data gap
- The registered corporate entity FANPLAY GAMES AND MEDIA PRIVATE LIMITED itself continues to show "Active/Compliant" status with a filed AGM as recently as 30 Sep 2025 per TheCompanyCheck, so the legal entity persists independent of the brand transition
Directors
Partial / conflictingBharat Gupta (DIN 00053322) and Pritesh Kumar (DIN 08144610), both appointed 19 Feb 2021 (company's incorporation date) — names confirmed by 3 sources (Tofler, WebSearch registry snippet, TheCompanyCheck-style mirrors); DINs sourced from Tofler only (single-source, treat as partial). Email on file: bharat@fangame.live (per Tofler — note this domain matches a differently-spelled/related "Fanplay" quiz-app property fangame.live, flagged as a possible entity-adjacency, not necessarily this company's product).
Financials
Partial / conflicting- Source conflict flagged: (1) TheCompanyCheck reports latest-year Revenue = ₹9.43 Crore (↓4.00% YoY), last balance-sheet date 31 March 2025, EBITDA/PAT locked behind paywall
- (2) Falconebiz-derived figures (via Tofler mirror) for FY2023 (year ended 31 Mar 2023) show Operating Revenue "under ₹1 Crore" with revenue/net-worth/borrowings each down ~99.6-99.9% YoY, Operating Margin 12.54%, Net Profit Margin 10.96%, RoE 2.26%, ROCE -6.32%, Debt/Equity 0.0 — these two pictures are inconsistent in scale and cannot both be reconciled from what was fetched (could reflect the FY23→FY24 education-brand transition to Classplus, or one/both figures could be for a different reporting entity in the group
- flagged as a data gap, not resolved)
- Standalone vs consolidated not specified by either source
- Auditor: Ms
- Rachana Dhawan and Associates (FY2023, TheCompanyCheck)

Investors named: Anupam Mittal, Atrium Angels, Core91 Fund, LetsVenture, plus additional (Inc42 cites "8 investors" total for FunctionUp cumulatively). Not obtained/unconfirmed: a Y Combinator search-result title referenced "FunctionUp (FanPlay) | Y Combinator" — could not verify YC batch/backing from a primary YC page in this session; treat as unconfirmed, do not present as fact without further check.
Charges/Loans
ConfirmedConfirmed none: TheCompanyCheck explicitly lists "Open Charges: None" and "Secured Borrowings: None."
Legal/Litigation
ConfirmedIndian Kanoon search for "Fanplay Games and Media" returned no matching results — confirmed none found (as of this check).
Competitors
Confirmed- Coding-bootcamp / skill-tech peers (India, pay-after-placement / placement-focused full-stack & data training): Masai School (larger scale, higher cumulative funding, similar ISA model), Newton School (larger scale, live-class model), Scaler Academy / Scaler School of Technology (larger, more premium/advanced positioning), Pesto Tech (similar/smaller scale, remote-software-career focus), Coding Ninjas (larger, broader course catalog)
- Note: since 2024 FunctionUp's own bootcamp product has effectively exited this competitive set by folding into Classplus's "Polaris School of Technology" B.Tech program
