Co-founded in 2018 by Aman Verma and Chitranshu Mahant, Primebook aims to democratize computing for students and digital-first learners. The brand combines hardware innovation with software intelligence to deliver smart, affordable, and student-centric laptops powered by its proprietary Android-based operating system, PrimeOS. The Delhi-based company says that its PrimeOS has been specifically created for learners and students for blended online education programs, making it simpler for students to use and comprehend. The laptop features Android app compatibility, enables simultaneous switching between apps, and is highly simple and effective to use for someone familiar with Android.
