Edtech platform Eupheus Learning has acquired SaaS-based startup SchoolMitra for an undisclosed amount. 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, the company said in a statement.
Launched in 2013 by IIT alumni Abhishek Kumar, Vivek Kumar and Gurpreet Singh Narula, SchoolMitra’s services provide teachers to take a live class with embedded content, while administrative works such as attendance, report cards get automated. The platform also claims to help its users pay fees online and track their child’s safe school entry and exit.
“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,” said Amit Kapoor, Co-Founder and Director of Eupheus Learning.
