RSN’s interactive workshops will be offered 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. IST on July 27, 28, & 29, 2020 (Monday-Wednesday). Sessions will be 2 hours each.
Where will RSN take place?
RSN will be offered online, through the web-based application Zoom. Participants will receive log-in credentials in advance.

Is RSN open to applicants outside India?
While the course is being designed keeping the Indian context in mind, it will be delivered in English. If you find the content useful to your context, you are welcome to apply. Please connect with us at rsn@ashoka.edu.in if you any further questions or clarifications.
What will participants gain from the experience?
Through a series of tightly curated 2-hour sessions, spread across three days, participants will understand how organisations are responding to the crisis and how we can learn from each other’s experiences. Curated by Harvard Business School faculty, through a combination of panel discussions and faculty presentations, participants will reflect, assess and deliberate on your response to the COVID-19 crisis; on what resilience means for your organisation; on reimagining your organisation’s place in the post-COVID world.
Is it mandatory to attend all three RSN sessions?
Yes. The three modules are interconnected. Furthermore, only participants who attend all three days will be eligible to receive a certificate of completion.
We look forward to hosting you online, listening to your experiences and providing you a space for learning and reflection in this time.
