[edit] Background
Incorporated in September, 1994, Educomp Solutions Limited is the largest provider of
technology education products and services provider in India for K–12 (kindergarten to twelfth

The Company provides its technology based education products and services to both private and
public schools. It leverages its strong understanding of the technology and education needs of
schools to deliver high quality, cost effective products and services. The Company’s key
business areas are:
• Business-to-Business initiatives: These initiatives contributed about 86% of revenues in
Fiscal 2008. Educomp provides technology enabled products and services to private
schools under its Smart_Class division, instructional and computing technology solutions
 for government schools through its ICT division, and teacher training programs under
Professional Development.
• Direct Initiatives: This segment contributed about 14% of revenues in Fiscal 2008. The
Company currently sells educational aids, CD-ROMs and learning content through its
online initiatives (including MathguruTM and Learning HourTM) and its offering initiatives
(including establishing pre-schools, K–12 schools and higher education institutions).
Educomp’s primary market currently is in India which accounted for approximately 86% of its
consolidated revenues in the Fiscal 2008, with its products and services supplied to
approximately 10000 schools. The Company has expanded its operations in the international

scandal, India's Ministry of Company affairs ordered an inspection on 4/feb/09 into
