CNN Central News & Network–ITDC India Epress/ITDC News Bhopal: Tata ClassEdge Limited (TCE), a trusted partner in building future-ready academic ecosystems for schools across India, announces a strategic association with Etome Works Limited (Etome), an organisation specializing in building experience-led technology spaces to enable effective integration of educational technology (EdTech) at scale. As part of this collaboration, TCE will take a strategic equity stake in Etome, underscoring a shared commitment to bridging the gap between digital learning solutions and their effective integration into classroom practice.
As digital transformation accelerates across the education sector, institutions increasingly seek trusted avenues to explore and evaluate solutions best suited to their needs. This collaboration aims to address that demand by establishing EdTech Experience Centres as physical hubs, enabling school leaders to explore solutions firsthand and build readiness for meaningful technology integration. The centres will also play a key role in teacher capacity building by offering structured training and skilling to enhance instructional effectiveness and support seamless digitalisation in schools.
Speaking on the strategic intent of this alliance, Mr. K.R.S. Jamwal, Executive Director, Tata Industries Limited (TIL), and Chairman, TCE, said, I am pleased to see the progress in Tata ClassEdge toward its goal to contribute and participate materially in all the key elements of the pre-K to K-12 ecosystem. This collaboration adds the key element of phygital experience centres to this ecosystem. As edtech leads the evolution of K-12 education, such centres will play an important role in showcasing best practices tools, techniques and devices for schools and teachers across the country.
Reimagining EdTech Discovery
While digital adoption in schools is growing, the ability to physically interact with technology hardware and software content solutions remains a gap in the market. This association addresses that need by launching a nationwide network of Experience Centres as dedicated spaces where schools can discover, experience, and evaluate EdTech solutions in a hands-on environment.
Sharing his views on the association, Mr. Joson Thomas, Director, Etome, said, “Collaborating with Tata ClassEdge is a defining moment for us. These experience centres will not just be about displaying products; they will be vibrant spaces for engagement. With TCE’s support, we are confident in our ability to create a trusted distribution network that brings the best of EdTech to institutions across the country.”
