Extramarks

Extramarks is a K-12 education technology company that sells digital learning to schools, with apps for students, teachers and parents built on the same content. Its home page says it was founded in 2007 and describes it as "an AI-powered education technology company transforming how students learn and teachers teach." The headline promise is "Transforming K-12 Learning for every school, every teacher, every learner," and the main buyer is a school: the site's lead form asks for the school's name and the role of the person inquiring, from principal and director or owner to teacher and administrator.

The company states that its solutions "cover every subject, every grade, and all boards - all rooted in a structured, curriculum-based approach." That is the core of the product for a school: content and tools mapped to the syllabus it already teaches, rather than a blank system the school fills itself.

Scale and reach

The home page puts numbers on the business. It says Extramarks is trusted by 21,000+ schools and 10 million+ students across India, South Africa, Indonesia, Egypt and the Middle East, and that 300K+ academicians and researchers actively use it. It lists 90,000+ animations and video lessons, "Infinite" practice questions, and 19 years+ of legacy.

The partner list shows the spread. It names Al Afaq School in Riyadh, Al Durrah International School in Sharjah, Birla Public School in Doha, Indian School in Dar Es Salaam, Cosmopolitan School in Ajman, Kenz International School in Yanbu, Spark Schools in South Africa, GEMS Cambridge International School in Dubai and Alitqan American School in the UAE. In India it names Lawrence Schools, Doon School, Mayo College, Army Public Schools and Mayoor School, and in Indonesia Smks Avicena Rajeg and Smas Santo Yoseph. Cape Peninsula University and First National Bank, both in South Africa, also appear.

The four school solutions

Extramarks groups its school offer into four areas, which the home page lists as High Quality Content, Classroom Management Tools, Fair Assessment and Evaluation, and School-to-Home Solutions.

The content solution is described as a way to "transform traditional teaching into dynamic, interactive, and outcome-focused digital learning," built on the animation and video library and the practice question bank. Classroom management tools are the teacher-facing layer for running lessons. Assessment and evaluation covers testing, and the site's footer lists an Assessment Centre as a separate product. School-to-home solutions link the classroom to families, and the footer lists a Parent App alongside a Learning App for students.

The full product list in the footer shows how a school can buy in: Smart Class Plus, the Assessment Centre and a School Integrated Program for schools; a Learning App and Parent App; and a Teaching App for teachers. On the student side the footer lists NEET and JEE next to K-12, so the student content reaches beyond school subjects to those entrance exams.

Extra Intelligence

Extra Intelligence is the company's AI layer, which the home page calls "Education native AI, for the classroom that is safe, clear, and built for real learning." It lists five capabilities: Multiple languages, Smart Planning, Smarter Assessments, Teacher Assistant and Student Co-pilot.

The multilingual feature gets the most detail. The page says Extra Intelligence can translate content into multiple languages instantly, so teachers can teach in the language students understand and support diverse and multilingual classrooms. For a school whose students do not all learn best in the language the content was written in, that is the practical selling point. By their names, Smart Planning and the Teacher Assistant are aimed at the teacher's preparation, Smarter Assessments at testing, and the Student Co-pilot at the learner working on their own. Even the company's blog uses the AI: articles carry a "Listen to this article" player marked "Powered by Extra AI."

For students and teachers

Beyond the school sale, Extramarks addresses students and teachers directly. For students the home page promises learning at their own pace with a solution they can customize. For teachers it describes "an innovative, AI-based platform designed to effortlessly enhance and simplify the teaching experience through intelligent automation and personalized learning."

The company's resources reflect its home market. Its blog for schools, teachers, parents and students covers India's NEP 2020 policy and its 5+3+3+4 structure, NCF 2023, foundational literacy and numeracy, the NIPUN Bharat Mission, PARAKH, competency-based assessment and recent posts on the CBSE curriculum for 2026-27. A school leader in India will find guidance on those policy changes there. The blog also publishes buying guidance; its guide to choosing a school LMS closes by saying Extramarks offers interactive content, reporting and scheduling solutions, backed by a dedicated support team.

Awards and partners

The home page lists a run of awards: two awards at the 2026 Economic Times TechEDU India Awards, a TIME Magazine Global Editorial Honour in partnership with Statista in 2024, four consecutive wins at the India Didactics Awards from 2013 to 2016, a finalist place at the 2026 EdtechX Awards in London, the Financial Express BrandWagon ACE Awards in 2024, Entrepreneur India's Education Innovation Awards in 2023, the ASSOCHAM National Education Excellence Awards in 2015 and the GESS Education Awards Dubai in 2017.

Extramarks also runs a global reseller partner program, inviting other businesses to "grow your business with AI powered school solutions."

Pricing and getting started

The site publishes no prices. Schools start through "Get Started" buttons and the "Transform Your School With Extramarks" enquiry form, so plans are arranged with the company after that first contact. The footer also links a child safety page alongside the terms of use and privacy policy.

Who it suits

Extramarks suits K-12 schools that want curriculum-mapped digital content, assessment and parent communication from one supplier, particularly schools in India and in the countries it names, from the Middle East to South Africa and Indonesia. Its large animation and video library and multilingual AI translation suit schools with mixed-language classrooms, and the NEET and JEE material suits schools with students preparing for those exams.

It is built to be bought by a school, so a parent or a single teacher looking for a standalone course will find the main offer aimed above them, though the separate Learning App and Teaching App exist for those users. A school that wants to build its own courses from scratch, rather than teach from a ready syllabus-aligned library, gets less from a product whose value lies in its content.
