The Pratham NY-Tri-State Chapter recently hosted an intimate Roundtable on Global Education, convening senior leaders from across the asset management community to explore the role of leadership, capital, and collaboration in advancing educational opportunity.

The conversation focused on how philanthropy, corporate leaders, and nonprofits can partner to drive measurable impact to scale. Panelists also reflected on shifts in the global education funding landscape and how funders and private capital are rethinking their role in supporting long-term progress in learning and skills development. One of the panelists recommended, "Don’t let perfect be the enemy of good. Funders can act now. The whole of our efforts is much greater than the sum of its parts.”

Moderated by Sheru Chowdhry, Pratham New York Board Member, the roundtable featured insights from Emma Poole, Lever for Change, Nitika Tolani, RPPL (Research Partnership for Professional Learning), and Haakim Nainar, Ares Management, who spoke about aligning capital and strategy to accelerate impact in education.

Thank you to our panelists and to the leadership and presence of Jignesh Patel, NY Tristate Chapter President, along with board members Rohit Chopra and Dinny Devitre, for helping bring together such a meaningful and engaging conversation.

Talent is everywhere. Opportunity is finally starting to catch up.

One of the most powerful shifts Unmukt Chand has seen in his career is how opportunities are finally reaching beyond India's major metropolitan hubs.

This is the exact reality Pratham has been working toward for nearly 30 years. From the most remote villages to underserved urban communities, we know the raw potential is there. By focusing on scalable, proven learning camps, we ensure that a child’s zip code does not dictate their future.

We are making sure that talent gets noticed.

A strong education doesn't just prepare you for exams, it shapes how you navigate every arena in life.

During our Changemaker Series, U19 World Cup–winning captain Unmukt Chand reflected on how academics and sport complemented each other, shaping the discipline, focus, and perspective that guided him both on the pitch and beyond.

At Pratham USA, we believe that foundational learning is the ultimate anchor. When a child masters basic reading and math, it gives them the confidence and perspective to tackle whatever challenges come their way, both on and off the field.
Give a child the tools to succeed in any arena.
