Kruti Bharucha: From McKinsey and the IMF to transforming education in India

This is the next episode in our latest series with our friends at 100X Impact. Kruti Bharucha is CEO of Peepul, bringing over two decades of leadership across some of the world’s most demanding institutions from McKinsey and the World Bank, to the IMF becoming an advisor to global CEOs on finance, risk and organisational performance. She could have stayed in global boardrooms. Instead, she chose to take that firepower into the education system. Kruti leads Peepul, an NGO that works shoulder-to-shoulder with state governments to improve education at scale across India. In Delhi, they run exemplary schools while driving system-wide reform across more than 1,500 primary schools. In Madhya Pradesh, they support 300,000 teachers across 100,000 schools and help to deliver the Chief Minister’s flagship school reform programme. In this conversation, we explore what it really takes to make a difference in the classroom, influence governments, and make a lasting impact.  Hosted on Acast.
