Suraasa Shortlisted for Global EdTech Prize for Building the World's Teacher Supply Chain
Business Wire India
In a significant global endorsement of India's growing role in the future of education, teacher mobility platform Suraasa has been shortlisted for the prestigious Global EdTech Prize by T4 Education, placing it among the Top 30 global startups creating measurable impact in classrooms.
Backed by global organizations including Owl Ventures, Digital Promise, and Rethink Education, the Global EdTech Prize is judged by educators themselves and highlights tools that are improving learning outcomes on the ground. Suraasa was recognised for its pioneering Global Teacher Mobility model, which enables Indian educators to build international careers—tackling the global teacher shortage, with 69 million teachers needed by 2030, according to UNESCO.
Unlike most edtech platforms that focus on students or AI tools, Suraasa puts teachers first. The platform equips teachers surplus from countries like India , South Africa, and the Philippines with internationally recognised qualifications, country-specific pedagogy training, and career guidance for placements in the UAE, UK, US, and beyond. Some teachers placed through Suraasa now earn salaries of up to Rs. 87 lakh ($105,000) annually.
Rishabh Khanna, Suraasa's Founder & CEO, shared, " We are immensely proud to be recognized by T4 Education. We believe the solution to global education challenges, including the teacher shortage, lies in empowering our educators. Our mission is to enable tangible career growth for them, providing internationally recognized qualifications and vital connections to schools worldwide."
Vikas Pota, Founder of T4 Education and the Global EdTech Prize, said:
'Congratulations to Suraasa's Global Teacher Mobility model on being shortlisted for the inaugural Global EdTech Prize. All of our shortlisted tools have one thing in common. They have harnessed technology in the service of education, and they are making a difference. From enhancing literacy development to building lifelong skills, supporting social mobility, and closing learning gaps, the Global EdTech Prize measures not only innovation but also impact. By giving a global platform to these tools, we help scale that impact at a time when it has never been more needed.'
Next, the top 10 finalists for the Global EdTech Prize will be declared on July 31, 2025 . These finalists will present at the World Schools Summit in Abu Dhabi on November 16, 2025, where a panel of global education and policy leaders will select winners. The final vote will be cast by educators via secret ballot, making it one of the only education awards judged solely by teachers.
At a time when Indian policy is focused on upskilling, global mobility, and NEP-aligned teaching quality, Suraasa offers a timely example of how Indian educators can drive global impact and how Indian edtech can export solutions the world needs.

Privately-funded crew returns to Earth in SpaceX Crew Dragon capsule after commercial space station visit
America's most experienced astronaut and three international crewmates plunged back to Earth aboard a SpaceX Crew Dragon capsule early Tuesday, closing out a 20-day commercial flight to the International Space Station with a foggy Pacific Ocean splashdown Retired NASA astronaut Peggy Whitson, the U.S. record holder for time in space, Indian test pilot Shubhanshu Shukla, Polish astronaut Sławosz Uznański-Wiśniewski and Hungarian engineer Tibor Kapu undocked from the space station early Monday. After nearly a full day coasting around the planet while waiting for the orbit to line up with the re-entry trajectory, the Crew Dragon's forward Draco thrusters fired for nearly 18 minutes starting at 4:37 a.m. EDT Tuesday to drop the ship out of orbit. Plunging back into the discernible atmosphere on a northwest-to-southeast trajectory, the capsule rapidly decelerated in a blaze of re-entry heating before parachutes deployed to lower the ship to a gentle splashdown just west of San Diego at 5:31 a.m. Over the next hour, SpaceX support crews "safed" the Crew Dragon, hauled it aboard the recovery ship Shannon, opened the side hatch and helped the returning fliers out of the spacecraft as they began re-adjusting to gravity after a three-week sojourn in weightlessness. All four appeared healthy and in good spirits, smiling and waving as they exited. This was the fourth so-called "private astronaut mission" to the International Space Station sponsored by Houston-based Axiom Space, which works with NASA to provide privately-funded research trips to the station. The company charges up to $70 million or so per seat to carry non-NASA astronauts, professional researchers and others to the space station that might otherwise have no other route to orbit. Axiom Space is using the missions to gain experience as the company presses ahead with plans to build a commercial space station that will provide a destination in low-Earth orbit for NASA and other nations after the International Space Station is retired in 2030. Throughout their two-week mission, Whitson and her crewmates carried out a full slate of science research and technology demonstrations, along with interactive educational events with students and others in the crew's home countries. Researchers from 31 countries are helping evaluate data from the Ax-4 experiments and technology demonstrations. Whitson, a retired NASA astronaut, is the most experienced American space flier, with 695 days and six hours and 48 minutes in orbit during five spaceflights -- three for NASA and two for Axiom Space. She now ranks eighth in the world for most time in space behind seven Russian cosmonauts. She also logged 10 spacewalks during her earlier flights, making her the most experienced female spacewalker and seventh in the world overall.
