BOSTON—Satish Tadikonda and Aditya Julka have been named in this year’s cohort of 21 Entrepreneurs-in-Residence at the Harvard Business School’s Arthur Rock Center for Entrepreneurship.
These successful entrepreneurs will bring their deep experience and insights to the large entrepreneurial community at HBS. Spending time on campus throughout the academic year, they will advise MBA students eager to start their own companies as well as work with faculty members on research and course development, HBS said in a statement.
“We are grateful for the time, effort, and many contributions that these practicing entrepreneurs bring to the Rock Center and the entire HBS community,” said Jodi Gernon (MBA 1991), the Center’s Director. “They bring an extraordinary array of talents, insights, and success stories to the School.”
Since 1947, the study of entrepreneurship has been a vital part of the Harvard Business School MBA Program, which includes a semester-long course in the first year Required Curriculum, numerous offerings in the second-year Elective Curriculum, and a thriving annual New Venture Competition for students and alumni from around the globe.
The School’s Rock Center for Entrepreneurship, which has won praise as the top program for entrepreneurial studies in the nation, supports faculty and their research in the field of entrepreneurial management and infuses the HBS community with the energy and spirit needed for new ideas and innovations to thrive and grow.
