Ebix Smartclass, a prominent digital education solutions provider, has introduced a major new initiative — the Ebix AI School program. Designed specifically for students in Grades 1 to 12, this comprehensive learning framework combines coding, artificial intelligence, robotics, and IoT under one platform. The initiative aims to bring future-ready skills to classrooms across India, in alignment with the NEP 2020 vision of fostering computational thinking and digital fluency among students.

Leveraging its existing presence in over 10,000 schools and 65,000 classrooms, Ebix Smartclass plans to make this AI-led program available without the need for new infrastructure, thanks to its plug-and-play model. This flexible integration ensures schools can adopt the curriculum with ease. Over the next 2–3 years, Ebix aims to impact over 10 million students nationwide by equipping them with essential skills for the digital era.

Arun Batra, Managing Director at Ebix Technologies Ltd, emphasized the importance of the program: “With this initiative, we aim to move beyond traditional learning methods and foster a generation that’s ready for a tech-driven future. AI, coding, and problem-solving are becoming core to modern education, and our model brings this directly into classrooms—efficiently and at scale.”

India’s EdTech and AI in Education sectors are witnessing rapid growth. In 2022, India accounted for nearly 5% of the global AI-in-education market. With a CAGR of around 40%, the sector is projected to grow from ₹1,200 crore to ₹17,500 crore by 2030. Ebix Smartclass, with its deep reach and scalable offerings, is strategically placed to play a key role in this evolving space, especially with government backing such as the ₹500 crore allocation for AI Centres of Excellence in Budget 2025.

The Ebix AI School program introduces a structured, grade-wise curriculum that takes students from foundational concepts to advanced AI and machine learning. It features real-world challenges, interactive projects, gamified learning experiences, and AI-powered simulations. The platform also includes a 24×7 virtual AI teacher, mobile learning apps for Android and iOS, and seamless integration with Ebix’s CTS platform and interactive flat panels.

Additionally, the curriculum is built with inputs from both education and technology experts. Its delivery focuses on engagement and interactivity, using project-based activities and simple explanations to help students understand complex topics with ease. The program supports both online and offline learning modes and requires no additional hardware.

To support implementation, Ebix will conduct dedicated teacher training and certification workshops, ensuring smooth adoption and effective delivery in classrooms. The rollout will begin in schools already using Ebix Smartclass solutions, followed by a wider national expansion through 2025.

Sumit Bhatt, Founder of Coding Jr., shared, “Technology must begin at the school level if India is to lead the global tech stage. The Ebix AI School program reflects that belief—blending flexibility with deep local relevance. This isn’t just an e-learning tool; it’s a homegrown ecosystem designed to nurture creators, innovators, and problem-solvers of tomorrow.”

Through this program, Ebix Smartclass aims to transform India’s classrooms into centers of innovation—ensuring students not only learn technology but are empowered to build with it. Ebix Smartclass stands at the forefront of digital learning in India’s K-12 education sector, reaching over 10,000 schools and 65,000 classrooms, and positively influencing the learning journey of more than 2.7 million students.

Driven by a strong alignment with the National Education Policy (NEP), the company offers a comprehensive suite of technology-enabled learning tools that support effective, inclusive, and engaging education. Its offerings include Smartclass CTS, a robust digital content repository tailored to CBSE, ICSE, and leading State Boards, ensuring curriculum relevance and academic depth.
