Almabase Founder Kalyan Varma Joins CASE Industry Advisory Council
We are thrilled to announce that our CEO, Kalyan Varma, has been selected to join the prestigious Council for Advancement and Support of Education (CASE)’s Industry Advisory Council (IAC) for a term of three years. This marks a significant milestone for our team and a testament to Kalyan’s dedication to advancing educational support and donor engagement.
The CASE Industry Advisory Council is a distinguished body that brings together a cross-section of CASE Educational Partner firms. The council's mission is to provide executive counsel and advice to CASE, helping the organization better serve its corporate affiliates and expand its relationship with Educational Partner members. The IAC plays a critical role in identifying industry trends, addressing future challenges, and positioning CASE to meet the evolving needs of its partners and organizations.
Kalyan's inclusion in the IAC is a proud moment for Almabase and a significant step forward in our mission to enhance donor and alumni engagement and educational support. With the mission of making education accessible, Almabase has made incredible strides, expanding across 12 countries and 350+ customers with total donations exceeding $40M. We are confident that Kalyan's insights and expertise will impact the council's work and contribute to the continued success of CASE and its partners.
Kalyan looks forward to this opportunity to make a meaningful impact on the industry he’s dedicated to "Being a part of the CASE Industry Advisory Council is a remarkable opportunity to collaborate with visionary leaders who are shaping the future of education and philanthropy. I am deeply committed to advancing the impact of alumni relations, and I look forward to contributing to a community that drives meaningful change across institutions worldwide.”
Kalyan has previously delivered sessions at CASE and Blackbaud conferences and is the creator of the popular LinkedIn series #30daysofadvancementideas. He is deeply passionate about alumni centricity and alumni's power in democratizing quality education for everyone. Kalyan recently delivered a keynote at a TedX event, where he spoke about the role alumni have in shaping the future of education as we know it.
