ViewSonic India Partners with BMC to Bring Digitization to Mumbai Civic Schools

With the education sector witnessing a significant shift in the teaching-learning model and classrooms becoming increasingly digitized,various brands,corporates,education institutes and government authorities are taking steps to implement new,technologically driven models of teaching. In line with this,BMC in Mumbai has moved to enhance the education ecosystem in civic schools by working with ViewSonic,a provider of holistic EdTech solutions whose hardware and software services are currently being used by various institutions around the world.

At present,the BMC operates approximately 1,133 schools,serving over 2.85 lakh kids,most of whom come from low-income families. Many of these students have experienced additional struggles with access to education due to the pandemic. As a result,BMC wants to build digital classrooms in various municipal schools for interactive teaching and a more tailored teaching-learning experience. The tender put out by BMC states that the digital classroom should be embedded with both hardware and software solutions; with their best-in-class tech-enabled products and intuitive EdTech software,ViewSonic was able to meet the full range of needs laid out by BMC.

ViewSonic enjoys a 50 percent market share as the No. 1 IFP brand in the Indian education sector in the year 2021,with the company's IFP50-3 series (65" and 75" models) dominating the market.
