Zoho launches Classes 2.0, made in India AI-powered learning platform for schools and colleges
Zoho has introduced Classes 2.0. It is an AI-powered learning management system built in India that aims to bring teaching, learning, and institutional administration onto a single platform.
Zoho has launched Classes 2.0, an AI-powered learning management system aimed at educational institutions. The plan is to bring teaching, learning, student management, and institutional administration all under one roof. The platform is built in India and supports all 22 scheduled Indian languages. And the company is making it available at no licensing cost to government schools, colleges, and universities across the country.
What Zoho Classes 2.0 can do
For teachers, the most striking feature is the AI Course Builder, which can generate a structured course from a syllabus, topic, or lesson plan in under 30 seconds. It automatically puts together video lesson outlines, reading materials, assignments with rubrics, and practice tests, and maps them to Course Outcomes and Programme Outcomes. Teachers can also schedule when content goes live, lock material until it is needed, and choose from over 100,000 curriculum templates. The platform supports flipped classroom models as well, where students go through material before class rather than during it.
Students get access to a 24/7 AI Tutor, microlearning modules, and gamified learning experiences. For institutions, Zoho Classes 2.0 handles the full student lifecycle from enrollment to course completion, uses AI to flag students who may need extra support, and includes a Low-Code Micro App Builder that lets institutions build custom tools for admissions, syllabus management, and other workflows without needing a developer.
The platform also meets NAAC, NBA, UGC, and NMC accreditation requirements and aligns with the National Education Policy 2020. For medical colleges specifically, it supports Competency-Based Medical Education workflows, including competency tracking, clinical log management, and audit-ready documentation.
Zoho CEO Mani Vembu said the company believes "access to modern educational technology should never be limited by an institution's resources," adding that the free licensing for government institutions is part of Zoho's commitment to making this kind of technology more widely available.
Zoho Classes isn't starting from scratch. The platform has already delivered more than 8 million notifications, supported over 1 million assignment submissions, and hosted more than 2TB of teacher-created video content. It is currently used by institutions including SRM Institute, Sishya School, Chettinad Health City, and Vidya Mandir, along with several government education bodies.
Zoho Classes 2.0 is available in India now, with a global rollout planned over the coming months. Individual teachers with up to 100 students can also use the platform free of charge.
