Tetr College of Business, a first-of-its-kind global B-school where students learn business by building real businesses, has welcomed its third undergraduate cohort to India, bringing together 300 students from 60 countries. Over the next four years, this cohort will travel across seven countries, including India, Dubai, China, Ghana, the U.S., Argentina and Europe, building a new business from the ground up in each market and learning to navigate the industries, customers and opportunities unique to it. With three cohorts now underway, Tetr College is building a global community of high-calibre young talent, giving them the scale, exposure and real-world experience to think beyond borders and build for a global economy.
The class of 2030 brings a strong academic profile alongside a wide range of experiences and interests, with an average SAT score of 1440. The cohort represents a diversity of backgrounds, disciplines and perspectives, with students representing fields such as entrepreneurship, finance and management, design, engineering, law, computer science, AI and the sciences, and collectively speaking more than 18 languages. The class also reflects a distinctly global mix, with Asia-Pacific accounting for 45.2% of the cohort, followed by the Americas at 27.4%, Europe at 13.4%, the Middle
East at 5.8% and Africa at 4.1%. The cohort also includes students from East Asia, Southeast Asia, Central Asia, the Caribbean and Oceania, bringing together perspectives from diverse markets and cultures.
The incoming class stands out for its strong track record of achievement across entrepreneurship, innovation, social impact and the creative industries. Patryk McGlynn from the U.S. is the Founder and CEO of Plenova Tech, building AI automation solutions for 11 active clients. Franco Arturo Canseco Rodriguez from Mexico has patented his sleep technology, Neutónica, and taken it to Shark Tank México and CES Las Vegas. Ludwig Flesch from Germany has led a fundraising initiative that funded two prosthetic legs, while Sachi Sato from Japan has co-founded an upcycling venture that has transformed more than 600 kg of discarded kimonos into new products.
The Indian contingent brings its own set of standout stories, with students joining from different corners of the country. In sports, Krish Saptarshi from Hyderabad has competed at CBSE Cluster and national-level table tennis, Shambhavi Sharma of Jaipur is a national-level swimmer. Surat-based Paree Jain is a three-time SSO champion who also founded Divyang, an NGO teaching football to visually impaired children. In entrepreneurship, Tuvijeet Sharma from Delhi has built Eco-Lution, which has a provisional patent and grants, alongside Amaize, for which he has developed a working prototype. Kinjal Gupta from Bhopal has built a B2B skincare and haircare brand. Gauri Maheshwari from Ajmer, a Pradhan Mantri Rashtriya Bal Puraskar recipient, has worked across entrepreneurship, public policy and social impact, including EcoBlooms, which trains women to turn temple waste into incense. Vyom Ahuja of Lucknow, also a Pradhan Mantri Rashtriya Bal Puraskar recipient, has developed multiple ventures and IP-backed projects, including Kurukshetra Ranbhoomi, an original strategy-based board game, alongside AI-based problem-solving and civic-tech initiatives.
The calibre of the cohort is further reflected in the university offers received by the students, with several choosing Tetr College over institutions including Duke University, Georgetown University, the University of Southern California, Babson College, University College London, King’s College London, NYU Stern, the London School of Economics, the University of Toronto, the University of Melbourne, the University of Edinburgh, the University of Warwick and the University of Hong Kong, among others.
Pratham Mittal, Founder, Tetr College of Business, said, “When we started Tetr College, we wanted to rethink what an undergraduate business education could look like if students were given the opportunity to build instead of only study. Three cohorts and more than 600 students into this journey, that vision is coming to life through the calibre, ambition and achievements of our students. They are coming to Tetr College with strong academic foundations, but also with businesses they have started, competitions they have won, audiences they have built and problems they want to solve. Bringing that kind of ambition together from around the world is what makes the Tetr community special.”
Tetr College’s undergraduate program has already led to the creation of several student-founded ventures, including Fluma, an AI powered influencer marketing platform; BluSpru, an AI optimisation SAAS solution; ServeClub, a pickleball equipment brand; Meridian, a consumer hardware startup developing beverage technology solutions; Jhatak, an Indonesian healthy snacks venture; and Nothing But, a clean-label food company offering preservative-free products. Together, these
startups have made over USD 1 million in revenue and raised over USD 500,000 in funding from global VCs and founders to support their growth and expansion. Students from Tetr College have also presented their startups to founders at Reebok, and The Network School, Senior Executives at Emirates, and at the Y Combinator Startup School.
The first two cohorts, the Classes of 2028 and 2029, have built 59 dropshipping companies that generated more than $172,000 in revenue and 58 direct-to-consumer brands across fashion, jewellery, wellness, home improvement, games, and food and beverage. Students have also gained professional experience across global markets, receiving 314 internship offers from more than 110 companies across 23 countries within their first two academic years, collectively earning more than $204,681 through these opportunities.
