Educational publisher for K-12 and competitive exam prep across Indian boards
Oswaal Books publishes exam-focused textbooks and study guides for Indian school boards (CBSE, ICSE, Karnataka) and competitive exams (JEE, NEET, CAT, CLAT), reaching 5,000+ schools and 13 million students. The hiring mix is heavily weighted toward sales (11 roles) and marketing (7 roles) relative to engineering (3 roles), reflecting a distribution-and-brand-first strategy. Current projects focus on channel expansion, school database building, and retailer stock coverage — indicating a pivot from direct student reach toward retail and institutional partnerships.
