RIO DE
JANEIRO, May 21, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Tetr
College of Business, a first-of-its-kind business school, is
creating a new generation of leaders who truly possess practical
skills and global experience to build successful businesses. Tetr
has launched a new undergraduate program where the curriculum
focuses on learning business by doing businesses - across the
globe. In doing so, the program caters directly to this increasing
demand for practical skills. To that end, Tetr has announced the
world's largest single-intake scholarship fund of USD 12 Million to award 60 scholarships for its
fall 2024 intake.
Tetr has curated a globally immersive
learning experience for students to live, and learn across 7
different countries including UAE, India, Singapore, Ghana, U.S, Brazil, and Italy over 4 years. As part of the program,
students will get to study at the world's leading educational
institutions INSEAD, France (FT
rank 2), SDA Bocconi, Italy (FT
rank 3); as well as NUS, Singapore
(#1 in Asia), and IIT among
others. Courses at Tetr will be taught by Global business and
technology luminaries such as Daniel Garret
Van Der Vliet (Executive Director, Cornell University), Manoj
Kohli (Ex-CEO, Bharti Airtel
& Softbank), Alexis Montesinos
(Professor, MIT), Thorsten Truijens
(Professor, Kellogg School of Management) and Nitin Gaur (Advisory
Board Member, Stanford University).
The B-school has established a 1.6 million USD venture fund 'Tetr Launchpad' for
aspiring entrepreneurs, complemented by mentorship from an
extensive network of venture capitalists, founders, and industry
leaders. The academic council of Tetr is led by Ivy League
Professors and former global CXOs, such as the likes of
Viney Sawhney (Professor,
Harvard University), Edward Rogers (Former Chief Knowledge Officer,
NASA), Faverie Stephane (Executive Group President, Estee Lauder) and Saud
Swar (CBO, American Express, MENA), as part of the founding
council.
"For prospective students from the Latin
American region, growing interest in truly immersive
learning experiences perfectly aligns with the nation's
growing intention of cementing itself on the world's
stage," shares Dr. Viney
Sawhney, Professor of Finance, Harvard University. "I have never seen such
a program in my academic experience, even at prestigious
institutions like Harvard. This clearly
indicates that traditional business education is due for an
overhaul. Tetr's unique program addresses this gap with a
curriculum that allows students to travel the world and learn
business by doing business in a new country, each semester. I am
excited to be working alongside a team that is pioneering a change
in the world of business education globally."
As a part of its curriculum, Tetr will offer
students a holistic understanding of how to build brands,
investment portfolios, and make data driven decisions rooted in
local cultural context, as they travel and study across the globe.
Students will get an opportunity to build an eCommerce
'dropshipping' business in Dubai,
leverage the Silicon Valley's ecosystem to launch a tech startup in
the US and start a community driven project to design and sell a
hardware product in Singapore.
They will also get to learn content creation, community building
and brand partnerships in Milan,
launch green initiatives in the realm of EVs, wildlife conservation
and renewable energy in Rio De
Janeiro as well as build a consumer business catering to
suburban audiences in India.
Set to commence the batch from September 2024, Tetr is offering full
scholarships to 60 brightest undergraduates from across the world
who will join the first batch. Out of this, 10 students will be
from Latin American countries. Tetr will empower these individuals
to develop the leadership required to pursue their chosen
fields. Backed by Tetr's entrepreneurial network, they'll
have the resources to turn their visions into reality. The B school
will also welcome top SAT scorers (top 1 percentile) and those who
have turned down offers from prestigious universities. To know more

June 17.
