Tetr College of Business has announced full scholarships for Indian influencers with a verified follower count of one million or more. In a move that reflects the rising economic and cultural weight of digital creators, the scholarships will cover up to 100 per cent of the INR two crore tuition fee for Tetr's 2026 Bachelor's in Management and Technology program.
Described by Tetr as one of the world's first scholarship initiatives specifically for digital creators, the program aims to convert social media influence into long-term entrepreneurial success. Recipients will study across seven global locations—including India, UAE, Singapore, Ghana, USA, Argentina, and Europe—and attend courses at institutions like IIT, the National University of Singapore, and Cornell University.
"This scholarship recognises that influence is one of the modern world's most powerful currencies," said Pratham Mittal, founder of Tetr College of Business in a statement. "We have seen content creators grind; building empires from their bedrooms, fighting algorithms to grow their audiences. The next step is teaching them to convert that influence into real value—products, platforms, companies."
The scholarship program is open to creators working across sectors like finance, education, lifestyle, and technology. Tetr says successful applicants will learn to build monetizable business models, launch their own products, and scale their platforms across global markets. According to the college, coursework will be bolstered by mentorship from faculty with ties to institutions such as Harvard, MIT, and INSEAD, and executives from SoftBank, NASA, and Estée Lauder.
Candidates will need to apply through the Tetr College website, submitting a portfolio, verified follower metrics, and a personal statement outlining their entrepreneurial vision. A selection process involving reviews and interviews will follow, with final offers made ahead of the 2026 academic intake.
The initiative follows a record-setting admissions cycle for Tetr's 2025 cohort, which drew over 150,000 applications for just 100 seats. The average admitted student had a SAT score of 1475, and some reportedly chose Tetr over globally ranked institutions like Dartmouth, Imperial, and King's College.
By opening its doors to top-tier digital creators, Tetr appears to be placing social capital on equal footing with traditional academic credentials. The program is designed to equip influencers not just with global exposure, but with the business tools to build companies that endure.

Shein's planned Hong Kong listing to benefit from wider capital pool, analysts say
By Scott Murdoch SYDNEY (Reuters) -Shein's planned listing in Hong Kong will help the online fast-fashion retailer avoid sharp investor scrutiny of its supply chains while tapping into capital from the mainland and emerging market investors, analysts said. The Singapore-headquartered company has turned its public market debut ambitions to Hong Kong after failing to win Chinese securities regulatory approval to proceed with a London initial public offering, Reuters reported last month, citing sources. While a listing, if successful, would be a big boost for Hong Kong, the move would cast a cloud over the company's efforts in recent years to gain legitimacy as a global, rather than a Chinese company. Shein, which sells products including $5 bike shorts and $18 sundresses, has faced political and environmental group pressure in the UK over its cotton sourcing and supply chain practices. It has also faced allegations that its clothes contain cotton from China's Xinjiang region, where the U.S. and NGOs have accused the Chinese government of human rights abuses and forced labour. Beijing denies any abuses. The company, which moved its headquarters from China to Singapore in 2022, has previously said it has a zero-tolerance policy for forced labour and requires its contract manufacturers to only source cotton from approved regions. "If it is the only option now open to them, the Hong Kong market does make sense as a place where you could list a global business with a mainland supply chain," said Eliot Fisk, a Hong Kong capital markets consultant and former JPMorgan banker. Shein did not respond to a Reuters request for comment. Before its attempt to list in London, Shein had pursued a listing in New York. The China-founded company had also faced regulatory hurdles and pushback from U.S. lawmakers in its attempt to list in the United States. "Listing in Hong Kong would also likely dodge the protests and political pushback it might face in the UK," said Craig Coben, former Bank of America co-head of capital markets in Hong Kong. While it is not known whether Shein plans to seek any waivers for a potential Hong Kong listing, several waivers, including disclosure-related waivers, can be sought by large IPO hopefuls in the Asian financial hub, according to capital market lawyers. A Hong Kong listing would also allow Shein to eventually be added to the city's Stock Connect scheme which gives easier access for mainland and Hong Kong-based investors to buy shares on each country's respective markets more easily. Shein would easily meet the market capitalisation and other criteria for inclusion in the connect scheme and for attracting mainland investment, said Hong Kong-based advisory firm Emmer Capital Partners CEO Manishi Raychaudhuri. There was a 255% year-on-year increase in average daily turnover in the first three months of the year in Southbound trading, mainland investors buying and selling Hong Kong stocks, the Hong Kong Exchange said in its first quarter results. "Hong Kong would have a dominant presence of Asia and emerging market-focused investors. London on the other hand, would have a significant presence of global and developed market investors," Raychaudhuri said. "The supply chain issues would have been a more important consideration for the latter set of investors." ($1 = 7.8488 Hong Kong dollars)
