ITC’s Classmate is expanding stationery offerings and embedding QR-led learning tools as it navigates digital classrooms. The brand uses ITC’s paper supply chain and sells through general trade, modern retail, e-commerce, quick commerce, D2C and schools.

Why this matters

The move extends Classmate’s recent push to stay relevant in digital-first India, following signals on QR-led learning and omnichannel reach beyond notebooks.

Omni-channel is steady at 1,529 signals in the past 90 days; no quarter-over-quarter figure is provided.
