The case was authored by Debolina Dutta and Divya Purnaiya of IIM Bangalore and published through Harvard Business Publishing. It examines how RippleHire challenged industry conventions, transformed recruiter workflows, and reshaped enterprise hiring. It is studied by future business leaders and HR professionals worldwide as part of the Harvard Business Publishing course pack.
