The office houses both business operations and an editorial team, which will help to expand the encyclopedia’s coverage of India. The company will be introducing its products to the Indian market shortly. Britannica’s key offerings include BELLS, acronym for Britannica Education Learning & Library Solutions with Britannica School, Image Quest, Expedition Learn, Launch Packs, Britannica Library and Britannica Professional Learning as their key offerings, and Britannica Connect – Global Community for Collaborative Learning (GCCL). All of them aim to foster essential 21st century skills, digital literacy, and life skills to ensure that tools for the holistic development of learners are available to schools and libraries in India. “The paradigm in Indian education has moved from rote-based learning to skill-based learning,” said Sal De Spirito, executive vice president, Britannica Education. “Britannica’s arrival is perfectly timed to support the vision of National Education Policy with respect to digital literacy, foundational literacy and numeracy and 21st-century skills.” **About Britannica Education** Founded in 1768, Encyclopaedia Britannica is one of the most respected sources of knowledge worldwide. Having transitioned from print to digital, Britannica Education now offers a range of online resources that support critical thinking, research skills, and digital literacy for students and educators across the globe. With the introduction of Britannica Education in India, the company is set to be a driving force in shaping the future of education, championing innovation, sustainability, and global awareness. **Contact** Britannica Communications 312-347-7309 [corporatecommunications@eb.com](mailto:corporatecommunications@eb.com) ## Recent Blog *Posts* ![](https://britannicaeducation.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/be-blog-ee-read-play-connect.jpg) [Early Elementary](https://britannicaeducation.com/blog/category/early-elementary/), [Teach Britannica](https://britannicaeducation.com/blog/category/teach-britannica/) #### Read, Play, Connect: Bringing Early Literacy to Life with Britannica August 25, 2026 [Read More: Read, Play, Connect: Bringing Early Literacy to Life with Britannica](https://britannicaeducation.com/blog/read-play-connect-bringing-early-literacy-to-life-with-britannica/) ![](https://britannicaeducation.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/be-blog-gamify-britanncia-school.jpg) [Classroom Activities](https://britannicaeducation.com/blog/category/classroom-activities/), [Britannica School](https://britannicaeducation.com/blog/category/britannica-school/) #### 6 Easy Ways to Gamify Britannica School August 12, 2026 [Read More: 6 Easy Ways to Gamify Britannica School](https://britannicaeducation.com/blog/gamify-britannica-school/) ![](https://britannicaeducation.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/be-studio-blog-iste-hero.png) [AI in Education](https://britannicaeducation.com/blog/category/ai-in-education/) #### What Educators Really Think About AI: Insights from ISTE 2026 July 20, 2026 [Read More: What Educators Really Think About AI: Insights from ISTE 2026](https://britannicaeducation.com/blog/iste-2026/) ![Thistle background graphic](https://britannicaeducation.com/wp-content/themes/britannica-education/assets/img/backgrounds/thistle.svg) ## Join Our Newsletter From tips and tricks to engaging activities, find attention-grabbing content for tomorrow’s lesson.
