tGELF is committed to building a community of ethical and altruistic young leaders. NFTE and tGELF will work together to provide an educational experience and entrepreneurial curriculum that is culturally aligned to the APAC region. Through this partnership, tGELF commits itself to ensuring emerging leaders, in India and throughout the Asia Pacific region, will have access to the benefits of entrepreneurship education.
“We share NFTE’s commitment in preparing the next generation of leaders to be able to act as ethical global citizens in the face of daunting global issues,” said Shiv Khemka, Founder of tGELF. “We are thrilled that our partnership will provide opportunities to support our young leaders with the needed business tools and attitudes to help them reach their full potential.”
