Emeritus’ success story now a Harvard Business School Case Study
Mumbai, February 13, 2024: The success story of edtech unicorn Emeritus, a global leader in delivering accessible and affordable high-quality education, is now a case study by the prestigious Harvard Business School (HBS), the company announced today. ‘Emeritus: Achieving Impact, Providing Access’, traces the first phase of the company’s founding journey by co-founders Ashwin Damera and Chaitanya Kalipatnapu, showcasing its innovative approach to education which has expanded opportunities to learners globally, and previews the road that lies ahead.
The case study, which will serve as a guide for mission-driven entrepreneurs and professionals, and be used in courses offered by Harvard, follows the journey of Damera, an HBS alumnus, and Kalipatnapu, an alumnus of INSEAD, who shared a dream of making societal impact by bringing access to high-quality education. Authored by HBS senior lecturer Ashish Nanda and research associate Zack Kurtovich, it intricately chronicles the origins of Emeritus’s transformative journey from idea to achieving global scale, made possible by a team united by the mission, and through the strength of strategic partnerships with world-class universities.
Emeritus, a pioneer in online executive education, led the way by offering Small Private Online Courses (SPOCs), cohort-based programs with a mix of synchronous and asynchronous elements, high-touch student support, and live faculty interactions. On how the company’s offerings came to life, the case study states, “…participation in executive education programs was often not feasible for individuals from developing regions, as they typically were prohibitively expensive and required participants to travel to the university campuses. Both Damera and Kalipatnapu were eager to address the unmet need among emerging market professionals for quality executive education at affordable rates”.
The study further notes that as the company’s growth accelerated in collaboration with top universities around the world, Damera and Kalipatnapu’s “leadership in tandem was critical to maintaining a sense of momentum and a strong culture within the firm”. Setting the company distinctly apart from competitors, the case notes the success metrics for the Emeritus co-founders are not valuations or financial returns, but the impact on individuals, companies, and society.
Announcing this milestone of being featured as an HBS case study, Ashwin Damera, Co-Founder and CEO, of Emeritus, said, “Chaitanya and I embarked on this journey to break down barriers to high-quality education. It is humbling to see our endeavor recognized as a case study by Harvard, a world-leading institution. This journey has been a whirlwind, and we hope that our approach to building Emeritus can offer some learnings to other entrepreneurs building mission-driven teams. We remain thankful to our team, university partners, and professionals around the world for placing their trust in us. This is a great achievement as we continue to work towards driving positive change through education.”
The case study also dives into the plans of the company to continue to expand and revolutionize the executive education and upskilling segment. Emeritus is prepared to navigate new markets, expand its product offerings, and forge newer strategic partnerships. With a steadfast commitment to excellence, innovation, and impact, Emeritus remains committed to redefining the landscape of executive education.

Teach For India’s Revolutionary Retreat brings together student leaders and young changemakers from across India
Mumbai, 9th February 2024– Hosted by Kids Education Revolution (KER), Teach For India’s global platform for student leadership, the Revolutionary Retreat is a one-of-a-kind space for like-minded and passionate student leaders to come together as a community and dream about a better world. It is a space for students across the country to reflect on their own leadership, build the skills they need to drive sustainable impact, and join a movement of leaders who are reimagining education through community-level solutions for change.
This year, the 3-day Revolutionary Retreat brought together over 150 students and educators from across India, and abroad (Malaysia, New Zealand, and Kazakhstan), at Rambhau Mhalgi Prabodhini in Bhayander, Mumbai.
KER Revolutionaries, or participants, are students who come from diverse backgrounds working on a range of changemaking projects, coming together to develop and strengthen their commitment to self, others, and India. Through immersive learning experiences, collaborative spaces, and reflective activities, students embark on a personal leadership journey that is rooted in the idea of building active citizenship and giving back to the community. The Revolutionaries at the retreat are guided by student mentors, who are paying it forward by helping a new set of students grow into empathetic, empowered, and confident young leaders. Anisha Ansari, a student mentor, shared, “It is a powerful thing to see students learning from each other, and helping each other grow. I feel like I am part of a community that is working towards the same goal – to build a better India”.
At this year’s retreat, students engaged in sessions that built their understanding of design thinking and collective leadership, as well as of Teach For India’s framework of the 8Cs – courage, compassion, consciousness, communication, critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, and curiosity. Through hands-on activities that encouraged children to think about the most pressing issues that impact them and their communities, through experiential learning spaces that deepened their understanding of India’s Constitutional Values and the role that they play in upholding them, and through a stimulating exposure visit to Mumbai’s Museum of Solutions – the young student leaders explored ideas of social justice, inequality, gender, discrimination, environment, and much more.
Shaheen Mistri, Founder and CEO of Teach For India, led a session where students explored “India and the World”, thinking about children in conflict zones, and the role that each of us can play in building a world that is safe, equitable, and just. Through the power of art, expression, and collaborative thinking, she led students to create a giant mandala as a symbol of peace and solidarity, that represented the idea of rebuilding and reimagining the world that our children are growing up in.
The 6th edition of Revolutionary Retreat concluded with a screening of the Conference of the Birds Film – a feature-length film based on Teach For India’s musical, that takes the audience on a journey through the valleys of Justice, Equality, Liberty, and Fraternity, in search of the true meaning of India. As students and educators watched this exploration of India’s values together, and reflected on their understanding of our Constitution, the power of partnership between students and educators was highlighted once again.
This year, the Retreat brought together KER Revolutionaries who are working on change projects exploring themes like gender equality, access to education, mental health and wellness, expression through art, and more – while also inviting educators and teachers who are partnering with students to create safe spaces, amplify student voices, and develop holistic learning experiences. Through a process that is grounded in the practice of reflection, listening, collaboration, and action, the Retreat sparked the desire for change in many young leaders and educators who are in our classrooms today.
