K–12 textbook publisher expanding into digital learning and AI-assisted content
Arihant publishes entrance-exam and school curriculum books across India, now scaling through e-commerce and digital products while automating creative workflows. The hiring mix—dominated by interns and mid-level roles in publishing and education, with notable adoption of generative AI tools (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Midjourney, DALL-E)—signals a shift toward content production at scale and cost optimization. Active projects span K8 textbook development in CS, physics, and chemistry alongside AI training curriculum and prompt library work, suggesting a dual pivot: deepening traditional curriculum coverage while building internal AI capabilities.
