Built on Experience.
Designed for Today's Schools.
BACK2SCHOOL is built on decades of hands-on experience in the education supply ecosystem. What began as a traditional distribution business has evolved into a modern, school-integrated platform designed to make back-to-school preparation simpler for everyone involved.
We understand the challenges schools and families face during the start of a new academic year — because we've been part of that journey for generations. BACK2SCHOOL brings together that experience with thoughtful technology to create a solution that is practical, reliable, and easy to use.
Our Legacy
& Experience
The team behind BACK2SCHOOL brings together over 75 years of combined experience in books, stationery, and academic supplies.
As a second-generation business, we have grown alongside the education sector, adapting to changing curricula, evolving school requirements, and increasing expectations from parents. Over the years, we have worked closely with schools across boards and regions, gaining a deep understanding of what works — and what doesn't — during the critical back-to-school period.
BACK2SCHOOL is a natural extension of that journey: a platform shaped by real-world experience, built to serve today's needs.

Our Operations
& Reach
BACK2SCHOOL operates out of Mumbai, serving schools and families across India.
From sourcing and packaging to logistics and delivery, our operations are managed end-to-end to ensure consistency, accuracy, and timely execution — especially during peak academic seasons.
Whether deliveries are made directly to homes or coordinated through schools, care and coordination remain at the centre of everything we do.
Why BACK2SCHOOL Exists
Over the years, we saw the same challenges repeat themselves every academic year — long lists, multiple vendors, last-minute rushes, and unnecessary stress for parents and schools alike.
BACK2SCHOOL was created to bring clarity and structure to this process.
By combining experience with technology, the platform simplifies how prescribed materials are organised, purchased, and delivered — helping schools maintain control while giving parents a smooth, predictable experience.
