The company provides technology-based educational content and platforms used by schools for classroom teaching and learning. Its services are primarily used in the school education segment.[4]

The company operates in India and has expanded its presence to several international markets, including Asia, Africa, the Middle East, and the United States.[5]

History

Extramarks Education was founded in 2007 as an education technology company in India. It initially operated on a business-to-business (B2B) model, providing digital classroom solutions, including Smart Class products, to schools and educational institutions.[4][6]

In November 2011, a 38.5% stake in the company was acquired by Infotel Broadband, owned by Mukesh Ambani, through its affiliate Reliance Strategic Investments, for an undisclosed amount.[7]

In May 2017, the company expanded into test preparation services for entrance examinations, including the Joint Entrance Examination (Mains and Advanced), medical entrance examinations, and foundation-level courses for Classes VI–X. It also established classroom coaching centres in Jaipur, Bhopal, Indore, Lucknow, and Haldwani.[8]

In 2018, the company expanded its operations into B2C segment with the launch of its mobile application, Extramarks-The Learning App.[6]

Products

In September 2015, Extramarks released Extramarks Smart Study, an Android application aligned with CBSE and ICSE curricula for students from pre-primary level to Class 12.[9] Between 2018 and 2019, the company launched several additional products, including the IITJEE Test Prep App, Interactive Learning App, and Extramarks Achieve, a mentorship programme providing academic guidance and support to students.[10][11][12]

In October 2019, Extramarks introduced an artificial intelligence-based chatbot, Alex, for responding to student queries.[13] In November 2020, it launched Lil One, a learning application for children.[14] In March 2022, the company launched The Teaching App, providing tools for online classes, assessments, content access, live instruction, and classroom management for educators and institutions.[15]

Operations

The company reports over 10 million learners using its platforms and states that more than 1 million teachers have been trained in the use of its digital education tools and teaching methodologies.[6][9]

Partnership

In October 2016, Extramarks partnered with the New Delhi Municipal Council to implement a smart education system in NDMC schools.[16] In 2020, it collaborated with the Indraprastha Institute of Information Technology, Delhi (IIIT-Delhi) on artificial intelligence research and entered into a partnership with Mahindra Lifespaces.[17][18] In February 2022, Extramarks announced a multi-year agreement with Arsenal Football Club to serve as its official learning partner in India, South Africa, and the Middle East.[19]
