Educomp Solutions Limited and Zeebo Inc. announced the proposed formation of a new joint venture in India and shared their plans to introduce a version of Zeebo's 3G-connected education and entertainment system specifically for the Indian market in 2011. Zeebo India will be a joint venture of Zeebo Inc., a Qualcomm funded company; Educomp Solutions Limited (Educomp), India's leading education company; and Lakshya Digital, India's largest interactive content development studio. Together, the three companies will tailor Zeebo's technology and develop relevant content for use by Indian school going children, both at home and in the classroom. “This partnership will enable us to provide a wide variety of new content and services for education, distance learning and interaction among Indian children, parents and teachers,” said John F. Rizzo, president and CEO, Zeebo Inc. “Access to such content and capabilities has been very limited in India because of the lack of a suitable platform and content delivery mechanism.”
