New Delhi, Feb 15 (IANS): Domestic ed-tech company Eupheus Learning on Tuesday announced that it has acquired a homegrown Software as a Service (SaaS)-based firm, SchoolMitra.

This acquisition will make SchoolMitra's 21st century school OS accessible to 20,000+ schools of Eupheus Learning, simplifying the lives of all the stakeholders, including parents, teachers, students and the school administration.

"With the combined entity of Eupheus Learning and SchoolMitra, we are taking another step towards integrating the (classic) model of education with the technology of the 21st century, enabling the students, teachers, and the school principals to benefit alike," Amit Kapoor, Co-Founder & Director of Eupheus Learning, said in a statement.

Both the firms share a common vision to enable schools with modern technologies and innovations, digitalising the Indian education sector.

The acquisition comes at a time when digital acceleration has changed the landscape of the education sector, with schools adopting modern technologies on the back of the new National Education Policy (NEP) 2020.

The platform provided by SchoolMitra enables parents to help their children learn and monitor their performance. It also helps them pay fees online and track their child's safe entry and exit from school down to the detail of the bus routes.

Similarly, SchoolMitra's services enable teachers to take a live class with embedded content, while administrative work like attendance, report cards, etc, gets automated.

The combined entity of Eupheus, Classklap, and SchoolMitra will ensure the roll-out of 21st Century School OS-based platforms into the universe of around 20,000+ schools nationally. The existing 1000+ School clients of SchoolMitra will also get an exposure to the curriculum and supplemental content of Eupheus on one platform.
