Sanjay Raghunath, Chairman and Managing Director of Centena Group, said: “This is

an exciting time for us as we further solidify our presence in the Middle East with the

introduction of our new educational eCommerce platform in the KSA. It represents a
significant step forward in our goal of providing seamless access to education for everyone

through our subsidiary ATLAB. As a group, we are dedicated to advancing sustainable growth
and development for companies and communities within the Middle East and beyond, as well

as reshaping the future and transforming lives through innovation and technology. In order to

better serve society, we are constantly striving to invest in and provide technological
innovations, applications, and solutions.”

AtlabShoponline has garnered significant interest from parents, educational institutions, and

schools in the UAE, indicating the region’s rising need for high-quality educational resources.

In keeping with the objectives of KSA’s Vision 2030 to develop the nation into a knowledge-
based economy, the platform will offer its extensive selection of products and services in the

country. AtlabShoponline has received a resoundingly positive response, leading to an increase
in demand from both institutions and parents. Notably, 80 to 90 per cent of FIRST LEGO

League (FLL) kits are purchased through AtlabShoponline, making it a preferred destination
to get resources for such educational competitions.

Nilesh Korgaonkar, CEO of ATLAB, said: “Beyond conventional eCommerce platforms,
AtlabShoponline is launching a customized approach for easy access to educational resources

in KSA for an engaging learning experience. Backed by a team of educational experts, ATLAB
works with schools to successfully incorporate new ideas into their courses. The GCC region

is evolving and diversifying as a knowledge-based economy to create more private sector jobs

for a young and growing population. Aligning to this development and to boost employment
and economy, ATLAB provides STEAM based education experiences that encourage students’

creativity, innovation, and critical thinking abilities as a STEAM.org accredited organization.”
