A DexSchool alumna once remarked, “Transformation does not begin when you go through DexSchool, it begins when DexSchool goes through you.” Once they graduate from DexSchool, Dexters are reminded that they must graduate every day to a higher level. Two weeks and DexSchool Class of 2026 is firing signals!

Viraj, proud DexSchool Class of 2026 graduate, has won the Pulitzer Center’s Poetry Contest. Selected as the global winner from 1,600 young scholars from around the world, Viraj’s poem will be published by the Pulitzer Center, and he will receive a $300 prize. #GoDexters #Outlast 🧢🇮🇳

Another Dexterity Hat-trick! 🧢🇮🇳
@WhiteHouse ☑️ @USTreasury ☑️ @WorldBankGroup ☑️

Proud #DexSchool ‘22 graduate and #DexterityToCollege Fellow, Tarun presented at the World Bank this week.

With this, Tarun completes a remarkable hat-trick! Tarun was one of Graduates and Fellows of Dexterity hosted by President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden at the White House and US Treasury, and has now, like some Dexters, been hosted at three of Washington’s most prestigious and coveted institutions. #GoDexters #Outlast

Dexters amaze us everyday. As Ananya (DexSchool ‘24) returned from an exchange semester in Sweden, her first stop was #DexterityHouse in New Delhi, where she received her Outlast jersey from current resident Deep Shikha (DexSchool ‘22), a proud NCC cadet who fires rifles, flies planes, and is a research scholar in Sanskrit.

Ananya, now entering her final year of college, was elected President of the Student Government at her university, despite being away in Europe for an exchange semester. #ThisIsDexterity 🧢🇮🇳

In 1992 @Olympics, the “Dream Team” with @NBA's greatest superstars became “arguably the most dominant squad ever assembled.” On their way to Olympic Gold, they scored 100+ points in every game, beating each team by an average of 44 points.

Thirty-four years later, Coach Ted Donato, himself a 1992 Olympian, delivered the 2026 DexSchool Graduation Address. The legendary @Harvard Head Coach remarked that the only comparison for Dexters would be the “Dream Team” of 1992.

At Dexterity, this Dream Team has been built over two decades of painstaking work, endless sacrifices, and an unshakable belief in India’s young people. #GoDexters #BuiltToOutlast

Wow! Today is unusual. For the first time in a year, I am not with DexSchool Class of 2026 on a Sunday. Last week, they graduated and were officially inducted as Graduates and Fellows of Dexterity. What an incredible group of young people!

Can you believe it? 65% of this class was born after @DexterityGlobal was founded. 10% were not even born when the first generation was applying to DexSchool Class of 2013. And yet, over the last year, they carried forward a legacy older than many of them, and truly made it their own.

In residence, we ate together, played together, learned together, and somewhere along the way, we became family. Class of 2026, you were a joy to teach, a privilege to train, and a reminder of why this work must go on. #GoDexters #Outlast

[The Dexterity Global Group @DexterityGlobal]

Truly, United Colours of Bharat. 🇮🇳

From every corner of India, and some Indian-origin youth from different continents. There is likely no other institution that identifies and nurtures young scholars and leaders from such diverse socio-economic backgrounds from such an early age.

For one year, they are challenged, tested, pushed beyond their comfort zones, and called upon to learn and lead. In the process, what comes to define them is not their difference, but their oneness, their Indianness, their Dexterity.

DexSchool Class of 2026, may your Dexterity shine. Today, and everyday! Congratulations on your graduation, and welcome home! #GoDexters #Outlast

For twenty years, I have gone to war for every young person I have come across. In life, an educational or professional setback is manageable. But the loss of a loved one is a tragedy that breaks the heart in ways no words can measure.

This morning, Sumit (DexSchool ‘18) and Suhani (DexSchool ‘22) lost their father. Since March 12, several Dexters and friends of Dexterity, tried everything possible. Doctors, hospitals, opinions, and prayers from across India and the world. This morning, walking out of the hospital felt unbearably heavy.

As someone who lost a parent while in school and a sibling one year out of college, I know the unbearable pain. Through these painful and challenging times, in Sumit and Suhani, I saw the extraordinary courage and grace of a well-trained Dexter. In a moment no young person should have to endure, they held themselves and their family together. Not just that, at the hospital, as it appeared to me, they took care of even those around them.

Sumit and Suhani are remarkable young people from small towns of Bihar who have built extraordinary journeys through hard work, courage, and character. Tonight, may Sumit, Suhani, and their family find strength in our prayers and blessings, and may their father’s soul attain eternal peace. Om Shanti!

Last night was a powerful, inspiring, and unforgettable masterclass in leadership, excellence, and grit as Coach Ted Donato - Olympian, NHL star, and legendary Head Coach with most wins in Harvard history - delivered the 2026 DexSchool Graduation Address.

[Sharad Vivek Sagar @SharadSagar]

This is 4am at DexSchool. Class of 2026 is still up, working on a @Harvard Law School negotiation that they will run at 9am.

Everyday, training begins at 8am and ends around 2am. On the final night, candidates receive this negotiation challenge well past midnight when the body is tired and the mind is exhausted.

No one asks them to organize and work like this. Dexters build and enforce their own teams, discipline, and systems. After all, the core of Dexterity training is, “How much is left when nothing is left?” This is Dexterity. #BuiltToOutlast 🧢🇮🇳

[The Dexterity Global Group @DexterityGlobal]

DexSchool Class of 2026 is just incredible at problem solving. Dexterity training is the training of mind, body, and spirit. Dexters are rigorously trained to bring order to chaos.

Beyond hundreds of hours of intellectual training and thousands of stories, topics, and case studies from the discovery of fire to the frontiers of the modern world, DexSchool graduates are trained to think under pressure, act with courage and oneness, and solve problems with deep awareness and inventiveness. Dexters are #BuiltToOutlast.

Before teaching Class of 2026, received my DexSchool ID from a DexSchool Class of 2016 graduate. #ThisIsDexterity 🧢🇮🇳

[The Dexterity Global Group @DexterityGlobal]

Continuing a remarkable DexSchool tradition of @NobelPrize winners, @Olympics champions, self-made billionaires, heads of government, and some of the world’s most extraordinary leaders, we are thrilled to announce that Coach Ted Donato, a famed Olympian, NHL Star and legendary Head Coach with most wins in @Harvard History will deliver the 2026 DexSchool Graduation Address.

DexSchool Class of 2026 has started arriving in Bengaluru for their final residential training. As the tradition goes, the Dexterity Founder @SharadSagar was out there receiving Dexters at 4am.

Every year, some members of the class are Indian-origin students studying overseas and travel thousands of miles for the final round of training. 13-year-old Praneeth changed three flights and flew 20+ hours from Dallas, Texas to get to DexSchool. Despite being in a different time zone, Praneeth did not miss a single class in his yearlong digital training.

Sharad Sir came to receive him with a special chocolate shake he had promised. #ThisIsDexterity 🧢🇮🇳

[Sharad Vivek Sagar @SharadSagar]

A Dexter is not trained to shine for a moment. A Dexter is trained to endure for a lifetime, in service of Mother India.

At Dexterity, the core of all training is Outlast. As DexSchool Class of 2026 arrives in Bengaluru for final residential training, Graduates and Fellows of Dexterity introduce the Outlast series. #GoDexters #Outlast 🧢🇮🇳

In 2019, Jaydev Dave, an Indian-American student of medicine was chosen the Graduation Speaker for the prestigious Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai (@IcahnMountSinai), one of America’s leading medical schools.

Delivering the Graduation Address in New York, Jaydev Dave quoted @SharadSagar and @DexterityGlobal to deliver a powerful message on leadership, courage and the responsibility to create change far greater than oneself. #DexterityForAll 🧢🇮🇳🌎

Swaraj was barely 10 when @DexterityGlobal was founded. He truly represents the magical journey of the #DexterityGeneration. The proud DexSchool Class of 2013 graduate was Harvard’s Intellectual Contribution Awardee 2025 and was chosen to deliver this address at @Harvard.

I have been blessed to hear many, many kind words in my life, but few have moved me to tears like these from Swaraj.

Swaraj says he is walking a path I cleared. The truth is, young people like him are the reason the painstaking path was worth clearing in the first place. #GoDexters 🧢🇮🇳

“Fortunately, I had my mentor by my side, @SharadSagar Sir. Every time I would fall, he would patiently wait for me to get back up.”

This week. Last year. A DexSchool Class of 2019 graduate delivered the 2025 Baccalaureate Address at Babson College, ranked #2 in the United States. In her address, Khushi reflected on the journey that began years ago at Dexterity.

Khushi arrived at @Babson as the only Indian student on a full scholarship of Rs. 3 crores. She went on to become President of the Student Government, was named Best Undergraduate Scholar and Best Student Leader, and received Babson’s Award for Overall Excellence.

Khushi is now headed to @Harvard University. #ThisIsDexterity 🧢🇮🇳

Four years ago, in the middle of an uncertain world, our young scholars went from some of India’s smallest towns and villages to the world’s top universities on 100% scholarships. From the son of a daily wage earner in north India to the daughter of a small farmer in south India, Dexters became local role models and national icons of hope and resilience. This summer, they graduate.

Around this time every year, I receive such beautiful letters from students graduating from universities across India and the world. There is something profoundly humbling about witnessing generational change unfold in real time. This is not just their story. This is India’s story. #ThisIsDexterity 🧢🇮🇳

[The Dexterity Global Group @DexterityGlobal]

There’s something incredible about Srivatsa, Bhumi and Aryan. It is well known that several high school students leave everything in pursuit of IITs.

These three Dexters were DexSchool candidates in high school and while preparing for one of the world’s most competitive engineering entrance examinations, they underwent year-long DexSchool training, braved the extraordinary rigour of residential training in the final week, successfully graduated from DexSchool and made it to the country's top IITs in their first attempt. #ThisIsDexterity 🧢🇮🇳
