Edtech platform Mesa School of Business has raised Rs 34 crore in funding to accelerate the launch of Mesa’s groundbreaking new startup leadership program, designed to provide students with a cutting-edge, hands-on curriculum.
The one-year full-time PG program in startup leadership will be based out of Bengaluru and commence in September 2023. The curriculum has been developed in partnership with startup leaders and potential future employers, with a focus on real-world application. At the end of the program, students will have access to leadership roles at top startups and tech companies in the country.
In addition to practical business skills, the program will provide individual leadership growth opportunities for students. This includes over 200 hours of leadership workshops with army veterans, communication and stage presence hackathons with coaches and theatre artists, and 1:1 industry mentorship. Mesa School of Business aims to create a strong foundation for students in the fast-paced world of startups.
