Educomp Solutions struggled to stay relevant after initial success as India's largest educational company. Bangalore-based Sujana Convent School decided to enroll in Educomp's Smart Class program to modernize teaching, but later faced problems with the software and hardware and took legal action for poor service. Educomp's struggles epitomize the challenges of establishing new educational technology ventures in India, as the company began strongly but its expensive products were not affordable for many schools, and rising competition eroded Educomp's pricing power.
