National – Ebix Smartclass, India’s leading e-learning solution provider, announced the launch of its latest innovative program – Ebix AI School a comprehensive AI and Coding Program tailored for school students, this new initiative marks a significant leap toward preparing students for the digital future.
Building on Ebix Smartclass’s presence in over 65,000 classrooms across 10,000+ schools, the new program aligns with the National Education Policy (NEP 2020) mandate on coding and computational thinking, guiding students from basic digital literacy to advanced applications in AI, Robotics, and the Internet of Things (IoT). With Ebix Smartclass AI, students from Grades 1 to 12 can now gain hands-on exposure to essential 21st-century skills including pre-coding, AI, robotics, and IoT — all through a single, integrated platform.
Mr. Arun Batra, Ebix Next Managing Director, Ebix Technologies Ltd, said “With Ebix Smartclass AI, we’re not just teaching students to code — we’re equipping them to thrive in an AI-driven world. Coding and computational thinking are no longer optional; they are foundational skills, and we’re proud to be bringing this transformation directly into classrooms across India. Our plug-and-play model ensures seamless integration without any additional hardware investment. Over the next 2–3 years, our goal is to empower over 10 million students by equipping them with essential coding skills — turning every classroom into a launchpad for future innovators.”
India accounted for nearly 5% of the global AI in Education market in 2022, generating INR 1,200 crore (USD 140.7 million). With a projected CAGR of ~40%, the market is expected to hit INR 17,500 crore (USD 2.06 billion) by 2030—making India the fastest-growing AI in Education market in Asia-Pacific. With over 25 crore students enrolled in recognized schools, the potential K–12 EdTech market is valued at INR 25,000 crore (USD 2.9 billion). Ebix Smartclass, with its scalable plug-and-play model and deep reach, is well-positioned to capture a significant share. The Union Budget 2025 further reinforced the momentum, allocating INR 500 crore (USD 60 million) to create Centres of Excellence for AI in Education. Ebix AI School, with its goal to empower 1 crore students over the next 2–3 years, stands as both a transformative education initiative and a key growth driver in India’s surging digital learning economy.
The program aims to introduce Artificial Intelligence, Coding, Robotics, and Computational Thinking to students from Grades 1 to 12, using a hands-on and activity-based learning model. Developed by a team of leading technologists and educators, the curriculum will be delivered through a blend of interactive digital content, project-based learning, and well explained sessions – making complex concepts simple, intuitive, and fun.
Key highlights of the program include:
· Grade-wise progressive curriculum – From basic to advanced AI and Machine Learning concepts.

· AI-powered simulations & gamified learning – Personalized learning paths for every student.
· Fully integrated with Ebix Smartclass CTS platform and 4K UHD Interactive Flat Panels.
· 24×7 AI Teacher – An AI-powered assistant to answer student queries related to subjects and programs.
· No additional hardware required – Compatible with existing school infrastructure; available in both online and offline modes.
· Mobile learning via app – Students can access content on Android and iOS platforms.
· Teacher training & certification workshops – To ensure seamless integration and delivery.
The launch will be rolled out in a phased manner across schools already using Ebix Smartclass solutions, with nationwide expansion planned for 2025.
Mr. Sumit Bhatt, Founder Coding Jr, said, “for India to truly become a global tech leader, the shift must begin in our classrooms — where technology has often remained a secondary focus. With Ebix Smartclass AI, we’ve worked to change that mindset by creating a pre-coding platform that’s flexible, intuitive, and deeply rooted in India’s educational needs. We’ve built an indigenous ecosystem that allows schools to tailor content to their own curriculum, while also making virtual learning accessible through platforms like Amazon. What truly sets this apart is Ebix’s legacy in educational innovation — this isn’t just a new product, it’s a leap forward in how we think about preparing the next generation to not just use technology, but to build it with confidence and creativity.”
This initiative is a part of Ebix Smartclass’s mission to transform Indian classrooms into incubators of innovation and ensure students are equipped with future-ready skills—today.
