Hyderabad: EThames Business School (EBS), Hyderabad, announced the successful completion of the Teen Corporate Leadership Challenge (TCLC) – a first-of-its-kind inter-school leadership and career-readiness initiative designed to introduce school students to real-world corporate leadership roles.
Addressing the media, Mr. Kali Prasad Gadiraju, Chairman, EThames Business School, said, “Leadership is no longer a skill to be learned after graduation. It must be nurtured early, and TCLC is our effort to start that journey at the school level.”
The programme aims to bridge the gap between academics and practical leadership by placing students in simulated corporate environments where they act as CEOs, CFOs, CMOs, CTOs, and CHROs—making strategic decisions, pitching ideas, and receiving feedback from industry mentors.
Over 3,000 students from 30 schools across Telangana participated in the multi-stage challenge, which began with a leadership awareness quiz and culminated in scenario-based case challenges at the EThames campus.
