Edtech BrightCHAMPS has partnered with Harvard Business Publishing Education to provide its students with exclusive access to Harvard ManageMentor courses in its coding, financial literacy, English language, robotics, and entrepreneurship programmes. 

The edtech’s students can learn from HBP Education material and earn certificates in negotiation skills, writing, presentation skills, difficult interactions, feedback essentials, machine learning, market sizing, innovation implementation, innovation and creativity, new venture simulation, budgeting, sharpening business acumen, etc, from Harvard ManageMentor. 

This is applicable to students of all ages enrolled in any of BrightCHAMPS’s verticals (coding, financial literacy, communication skills, and robotics), and is in addition to the edtech’s own STEM-accredited learning material and certificates. 

Ravi Bhushan, founder and CEO of BrightCHAMPS, said, “Our goal is to ensure that the world’s 2 billion students get the best education in futuristic skills. We can’t wait to see our students super-charge their learning with the vast repository of Harvard ManageMentor resources that will now be at their disposal both within our classrooms and outside it. It is truly a historic moment in our history!” 
 
Speaking on the development, Sumit Harjani, managing director-India, for Harvard Business Publishing Education, added, “With the breadth of BrightCHAMPS’s operations, we’re confident this partnership will help both organisations power the dreams of the brightest young minds of today and tomorrow.” 

To make the adoption of HBP Education’s learning material easier for students, specially appointed BrightCHAMPS teachers across all subjects will undergo focused training in the Harvard ManageMentor course material. They will provide additional guidance and support to students, at no extra cost to parents. 

This is the second such student-interest initiative by BrightCHAMPS. In 2022, the company set up an independent, self-regulatory body called the Global Curriculum Advisory Board to vet its content across all subjects. Helmed by internationally renowned education and children’s experts from the fields of literature, AI, robotics, gaming, and institutional education, the Board’s key responsibility is to make BrightCHAMPS’s content more accessible, inclusive and customisable to students’s unique learning needs. 

Valued at $650 million with a $63 million investment, BrightCHAMPS was founded in 2020 by Ravi Bhushan, an IIT-Varanasi graduate, and is currently operational in 30+ countries, including India, Indonesia, Vietnam, Malaysia, the US, UAE and many others in SEA and the MENA region.

The global edtech company delivers online, offline, and hybrid classes in over 30 countries. The classes offer STEM-accredited and next-gen life skills learning to students from six to 16 in coding, financial literacy, robotics, and communication skills and the curriculum are reviewed by a self-regulated global curriculum advisory board with experts from Roblox, Kyron Learning, GEMS Education, and Nous Group.
