Headquartered in Hyderabad, Coltec Global marries craftsmanship, human-centered engineering, and relentless curiosity. The result is technology that doesn’t merely perform—it inspires.

In an exclusive conversation with The Interview World at DIDAC India 2025, Amaan Aalim, Director at Coltec Global, outlines what sets the company’s edtech solutions apart. He shares insights into how many schools in India currently use the QEEB Smart Classroom platform and Coltec’s interactive panels, reflects on how AI will evolve over the next 5–10 years in the edtech space, and highlights the tangible impact their solutions create on the ground.

Here are the key takeaways from his compelling discussion.

Q: Could you elaborate on the edtech solutions Coltec provides, and explain how the QEEB Smart Classroom platform sets your offerings apart from others in the market?

A: QEEB is an advanced smart classroom platform that delivers world-class digital content directly into the classroom while equipping teachers with powerful tools that elevate every lesson. All Coltec software is seamlessly integrated into the company’s in-house–manufactured interactive flat panels—both the hardware and software are built end-to-end by Coltec. Together, they provide educators with a comprehensive ecosystem designed to drive significantly higher learning outcomes.

On the manufacturing side, Coltec supplies grade-A interactive panels built in collaboration with several reputed global brands. The company ensures full pan-India distribution, sales, and support, and it also exports its panels to international partners.

QEEB itself is platform-agnostic and works on any interactive flat panel. It offers complete K–12 STEM content, including structured courseware, immersive 3D models, AI-driven learning aids, and a wide range of online and offline assessments. The platform also includes a digital library and 10–12 additional modules that simplify teaching. For example, with a single click, a teacher can launch a virtual class and instantly share a whiteboard, blackboard, digital board, or any type of content—making modern teaching not only easier but more effective.

This is where QEEB stands apart. Although many panels in the market are used merely as digital blackboards or glassboards, the real potential of interactive technology often goes untapped. QEEB changes that by enabling true pedagogical transformation through thoughtful software design and deep classroom utility.

Together, Coltec’s hardware and QEEB’s smart platform deliver meaningful value in thousands of classrooms across India, including leading international and premium schools.

Q: How many schools in India are currently using your solutions, both your interactive panels and your software platforms?

A: QEEB currently powers nearly 50,000 classrooms across the country, delivering a deeply interactive teaching and learning experience to institutions of every kind. We partner with international brands, government agencies, and NGOs to bring this capability to diverse learning environments. Beyond schools, our interactive panels are widely used in corporate training rooms, coaching centers, and various other spaces where teaching and professional development take place.

Q: As you integrate AI into your solutions, how do you see its role evolving over the next 5–10 years in the edtech space?

A: Yes, AI is already proving to be an immensely valuable tool for both teachers and students. However, we are still in the early stages, and it is too soon to predict exactly how the technology will evolve. The landscape is shifting every day, and the coming wave of AI innovation will reshape education on a much larger scale.

There is significant scope for optimization. New agents will emerge. More advanced technologies will enter the market. These developments will streamline and standardize many processes across the ecosystem. We simply need time to observe how this transformation unfolds.

What is certain, though, is that AI will continue to be profoundly beneficial for humanity.

Q: From your experience, what real-world impact are your solutions creating on the ground?

A: Today, every student is surrounded by gadgets, and most households are saturated with digital devices. Naturally, the classroom experience must match this reality. When technology is absent, boredom sets in, because students’ attention spans have already shifted under the influence of constant digital engagement.

Therefore, schools and teachers must raise the benchmark. They need to use technology strategically to align with the digital fluency students already experience at home. This is no longer optional—it’s essential. Integrating the right tools in the classroom is now the need of the hour to keep learners engaged, motivated, and fully connected to the learning process.
