RiseBack is the first EdTech platform connecting Indian Universities with students across the globe” In 2015, Dr. Tausif Malik recognized a pressing need within his community to empower fellow Americans with IT and software skills, facilitating their career growth and advancement. With this vision in mind, he founded RiseBack, drawing inspiration from the Native American adage “Phoenix rising from the ashes,” a symbol of rebirth, hope, renewal, progress, the end of oppression, and eternity. As the global pandemic swept across the world, it ushered in a rapid era of digitalization across various industries, most notably in the field of education. This transformative trend prompted a reevaluation of RiseBack’s mission, evolving it into a platform connecting Indian universities with students from all corners of the globe. This transformation spurred the RiseBack team into action, as they embarked on extensive research and engaged in discussions with Indian universities to harness this exciting opportunity.
