Beyonder Fellowship 2020

Be A Beyonder

The Beyonder Fellowship challenges young minds to be frontier-thinkers, imagine a radical future, and break new grounds with their minds. A select few, bright minds were chosen to be part of this new learning revolution to address the challenges of tomorrow by preparing students for careers and challenges that don’t yet exist. We invited students who had finished class 12th in 2020 to take a leap forward – one that can ultimately make their undergrad experience more exciting, efficient, and enriching. The first cohort of the Fellowship ran from August 17, 2020, to September 4, 2020.
