Business World Education Magazine - May - June 2023

In this issue

It’s an exciting world of education today, with innovative
individuals, understanding the needs of students,
and backed by technological prowess, are offering
critical services to schools, colleges, and students individually.
Notions about educational startups have
changed and such entities are being embraced by the
education fraternity. This time, our cover interview features
two such individuals, Chaitanya Kalipatnapu and
Ashwin Damera, Co-Founders of Emeritus, who have impacted
over 3 lakh learners in 200 countries, through partnerships
with leading higher education institutes globally.
The world belongs to such brave individuals.
But does everyone get a level-playing field? Interactions
with women leaders in education featured in this issue
highlight some interesting facets of our society. Despite
being well-educated and highly qualified, they still face the
pressure of justifying their dream if they set out to carve a
unique path for themselves. Supplementing husband’s income
is still the accepted norm and so if a woman educator
feels she is up to it to step into the role of educational entrepreneur,
eyebrows are raised.

Happy Reading.
