The honest reality
Read this one
Indian edtech went through a severe correction after its funding boom, with large-scale layoffs and closures, so job security in the sector is weaker than its visibility suggests. Content targets can be volume-driven at the cost of quality.

Generative AI is also changing how basic explanatory content gets produced.
