SMART Technologies Expands Reseller Network and Local Production to Transform Indian Education
SMART Technologies has announced an ambitious plan to significantly expand its reseller network in India, with the goal of adding between 300 and 400 local partners over the next three years. This expansion aims to increase the accessibility of the company’s advanced educational technology solutions across the country.
Nicholas Svensson, President and CEO of SMART Technologies, emphasized the strategic importance of this initiative. “India is a crucial market for us,” Svensson stated. “By growing our reseller network by 300 to 400 partners within three years, we will be able to reach schools nationwide, providing them with the tools needed to enhance teaching and learning outcomes.”
In addition to the planned expansion of partnerships, SMART Technologies has already made notable strides in the Indian education sector. The company recently welcomed three Indian schools into its prestigious ‘SMART Exemplary Schools’ programme, joining a global network of 35 institutions recognized for their innovative use of technology to improve education.
“We are thrilled to witness the adoption of technology in Indian schools and are eager to increase the number of Exemplary Schools in the country,” Svensson added. “India is rapidly emerging as a center for educational transformation, and we are excited to highlight the exceptional work being done here.”
With a global user base of 85 million and a network of over 2,500 SMART Ambassadors, SMART Technologies is a leader in educational technology. These ambassadors are instrumental in helping educators utilize the company’s interactive products to enhance learning experiences for students.
The growing demand for educational technology in India has prompted SMART Technologies to focus more on localized strategies. Svensson also addressed the company’s commitment to the “Make in India” initiative, which aims to establish a local supply chain to make their products more accessible and cost-effective for Indian schools. “We are in the process of finalizing our Indian supply chain,” Svensson said. “Our goal is to ensure that our interactive panels are of the highest quality and competitively priced, making them affordable for schools across India.”
Through its extensive reseller expansion, localized production, and dedication to empowering schools with innovative solutions, SMART Technologies is positioning itself as a major player in India’s education sector. By expanding its reseller network, enhancing the SMART Exemplary Schools programme, and working closely with local educators, the company is setting the stage for long-term success in transforming Indian classrooms.
As Svensson concluded, “The future of education lies in engaging, interactive learning, and we are committed to making that future a reality for schools throughout India. What we are doing now is just the beginning.”
