Remembering Basant Sagar (MIT ‘11), truly a star glowing in the night sky at @MIT!

Basant Vivek Sagar began formal schooling only in Grade 8, was selected by NASA as a Student Astronaut in Grade 9, and boarded the first flight of his life to attend MIT on a full scholarship. At MIT, his brilliance earned him not just 106/100 in an exam but also deep admiration of the world’s finest scholars and successive invitations from two US Presidents.

On Nov 6, we honour the extraordinary life and legacy of Basant Vivek Sagar, a remarkable son of India whose inspirational life shaped the very spirit of Dexterity and whose example continues to inspire generations of young scholars and leaders across the world.

How rare is it to arrive on a college campus as a first-year student and be hosted at the @WhiteHouse the next month? Not that rare, when you're a Dexter. 🧢🇮🇳

Harshith, Nipun, Poshitha and Amulya had just arrived in Pennsylvania as #DexterityToCollege fellows when Dexterity received an invitation from President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden.

On October 11, second year anniversary of the White House invitation, the four Dexters reunited at the iconic @Wharton School in Pennsylvania for Dexterity’s Overseas Meetup and Retraining Program (OMRP) as 140+ Graduates and Fellows of Dexterity came together in 9 global cities across 4 continents.

Proud DexSchool graduate and #DexterityToCollege fellow from Pune, Maharashtra, Arohi graduated with a master’s degree from the prestigious @EmersonCollege in Boston this year.

At Emerson, credited for pioneering historic "firsts" in media, arts, and education and home to several Oscar, Emmy, and Golden Globe awardees, Arohi served as the Managing Editor of a 40-year-old magazine, taught college-level writing and research courses, and co-founded a literary journal for Indian authors.

In October 2024, Arohi was one of 35 Graduates and Fellows of Dexterity hosted by President Biden and the First Lady at the @WhiteHouse.

In 2024, @Harvard University included Dexterity Global’s founding story, philosophy, and work in its course on Leadership, Entrepreneurship, and Learning.

On Diwali in 2024 (Oct 31), two Harvard professors sat down with @SharadSagar, the Dexterity Founder, for an hour-long podcast. On its two-year anniversary, here’s a short but powerful excerpt from the conversation.

Boston is sacred to Dexterity, it is special.

At Dexterity’s Overseas Meetup and Retraining Program (OMRP) at @Harvard, the youngest Dexter was from DexSchool Class of 2024 and oldest from DexSchool Class of 2014. Generational, that’s Dexterity!
