ABP Group ropes in Yash Mehta as CEO of Ananda Publishers' education arm

ABP Group has appointed Yash Mehta as the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the education division of Ananda Publishers.

Operating from Delhi, Mehta will assume responsibility for overseeing all educational entities within the ABP Group.

Prior to joining the ABP Group, he served as the Executive Director at Oxford University Press (OUP), where he held the position for five years.

Before that, Mehta served as the country lead at Macmillan Education India, where he spearheaded Macmillan's education business in India and neighbouring markets such as Sri Lanka, Bhutan, the Middle East, Nepal, and Bangladesh.

Dhruba Mukherjee, Director, Ananda Publishers, said, “We were looking for an individual with a rich and diverse industry experience, having a vision for the future and a passion to win. Yash brings to the table all this and more. He leads from the front and under his leadership we expect our education businesses to grow in scale, size and impact.”

Mehta said, “I am greatly looking forward to this important next chapter. This is a critical time for the publishing industry, where the needs are changing at an unprecedented pace. The release of the NEP 2020 and the NCF 2023 coupled with emerging technologies and changing demands in education present new challenges and opportunities that require us to adapt and evolve. Keeping up with the increasingly dynamic needs of education will require decisiveness in planning and implementing strategic initiatives. This platform will provide me an opportunity to realise my potential in delivering educational solutions for an enduring positive impact on society. I will work towards the growth and success of the group and the satisfaction of all the stakeholders.”
