About
We turn 60 years of management education into 15-minute lessons.
Most EdTech startups begin with a marketing deck. Rehearsal began with a research lab funded by Integral Education Society — an Indian educational legacy spanning three decades, 70+ schools, four AACSB-accredited business school campuses, and a textile arm in Ginni Filaments. We have been running classrooms since 1992, long before anyone bothered putting the word AI in front of teaching.
The difference
Most EdTech is run by people who have never taught a class.
Everyone else
Optimise the funnel, the retention loop, the paywall
Teaching is whatever ChatGPT can scaffold and a copywriter can rewrite
Pedagogy = vibes + engagement metrics
No way to measure if learning actually happened
Rehearsal
Pedagogy set by IIM-A and XLRI faculty who teach live classes
DeepProbe™ is applied peer-reviewed research, not a ChatGPT wrapper
15-minute Concept Briefs designed by people who watched hundreds of students fail live
Dual scoring (Credibility + Confidence 0-100) — improvement is measurable
When Rehearsal teaches you something, there are decades of classroom evidence sitting behind it. We don't think anyone else in this category can honestly say that.
Architecture
Three names. One thing.
You use Rehearsal. Gradeless AI is the company that ships it. Both sit inside the Jaipuria Group, the Indian education institution behind Jaipuria Institute of Management — AACSB-accredited since February 2025, in the same 6% of business schools worldwide as ISB, the IIMs, and XLRI. The lab where Rehearsal's pedagogy comes from sits inside that group.
