Teachers Day 2023: How brands honoured India's educators

September 5th is celebrated as Teachers Day in India to honour the contributions of Dr Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan, the second President of India who was also an exemplary educator. India has a long and rich tradition of honouring teachers, often placing them above God as demonstrated by the Sanskrit phrase: “Mata Pita Guru Dev." A teacher is not only an educator but a mentor and a guide who is also responsible for the spiritual growth of the pupils.

Given India's reverence for mentor figures, September 5 is a day when people pay their respects to the teachers who shaped their lives and careers. Even brands leverage the occasion to honour the teachers on this day.

A nostalgic trip down the lane can make us remember the first time we saw the world through our teacher’s eyes.
