Atul Jose (Admissions Consultant, F1GMAT): Each March break, students embark on a global insight expedition with an advisor or two and explore a new country by interacting with corporate leaders, entrepreneurs, non-profit representatives, policymakers, and people operating at various levels of the organization. Through these interactions and building relationships with the network in the region, students will gain a new perspective on the challenges and the framework of operating businesses in a new country.
Each visit has been carefully crafted based on the strengths and challenges of the region.
To study the EduTech boom, the school organized a global expedition around understanding how education can empower 20% of the population, or close to 250 million, who are underserved in India.
A similar approach was used to study EPR – a framework that builds awareness into each stage of the manufacturing process about the company’s responsibility to integrate sustainability practices and minimize waste.
Themes around transitioning to sustainable and low-carbon economies, technology & entrepreneurship, and investments have often been popular themes for Tuck’s Global expeditions.
