Prof. Ravindra Kanade — Four Decades of Teaching

The Teacher

Four decades, one calling

Since 1978, Professor Ravindra Kanade has stood before classrooms in Mumbai and done what great teachers do: made difficult things feel possible. Generations of students — many the first in their families to pursue higher education — passed through his classes and left with more than notes and marks. They left with confidence.

His students remember the same things. The chalk that never stopped moving. The insistence that no question was too small to ask. The extra hour after class for anyone who was struggling, given freely, year after year, for nearly five decades.

Many of those students are now engineers, doctors, bankers, civil servants, founders, and teachers themselves, in Mumbai, across India, and around the world. This page is for them.

"A teacher's work is never finished. It just walks out the door and into the world."
— Prof. Kanade
