ITC Classmate is pursuing stationery-market growth through integrated paper sourcing, expanded product categories and omnichannel distribution, while adding QR-led digital learning tools to maintain relevance as Indian classrooms increasingly adopt screens.

Why this matters

The move extends recent Classmate signals on QR learning content and omnichannel reach, QR-linked games and quick commerce, and expansion into pens, art supplies and digital tools.

Omni-channel is steady, with 1,472 signals in the past 90 days; no QoQ change figure was provided.
