Tetr College of Business launched in Dubai: Empowering global students launch 23 businesses
Dubai has emerged as a key destination for entrepreneurial education with the success of Tetr College of Business, a pioneering global business school where students learn by building businesses.
In its inaugural semester, the college's Bachelor's in Management and Technology programme saw over 110 students from various countries establish 23 businesses, collectively earning $138,000 within four months. The initiative integrated hands-on business creation with academic learning, leveraging Dubai's dynamic commercial ecosystem to provide real-world exposure.
Students explored diverse markets, launching dropshipping ventures across sectors such as electronics, sports, home decor, apparel, and lifestyle products, while also securing over $15,000 in external funding to expand their enterprises. Their entrepreneurial journey included high-profile engagements, such as pitching business ideas at GITEX Global 2024, where they interacted with industry leaders and received feedback on scalability and market positioning.
Immersions at Emirates' Ebdaa initiative provided insights into AI-driven aviation advancements, while visits to Dubai's Gold Souk honed their negotiation skills through real-time pricing strategies. Additionally, students gained firsthand knowledge of large-scale urban development at Emaar's headquarters and explored international trade mechanisms at Jebel Ali Port, understanding the impact of supply chain innovations on global commerce.
Beyond the business landscape, Dubai's cultural offerings, including Desert Safaris and Dhow Cruises, added depth to their educational experience. According to Tarun Gangwar, COO of Tetr College of Business, the blend of a thriving business environment and rich cultural heritage equips students with essential global competencies.
The Class of 2028 now transitions to India for the next phase of their curriculum, focusing on direct-to-consumer (D2C) businesses in emerging markets. Designed to span seven countries, Tetr's program aims to provide students with a unique global perspective by enabling them to establish multiple ventures across different economic landscapes.
