Jaipur (Rajasthan) [India], June 24: TiE Rajasthan proudly celebrates a milestone moment at the TiE Young Entrepreneurs (TYE) Global Finals 2024, with two student teams from Jaipur making a mark on the international stage. Team OOMI, from Jayshree Periwal Global School (JPGS), won the 2nd Runners-Up position globally, securing $1500 in prize money, along with special recognitions for Best Customer Validation and the Maker Faire Showcase. Notably, Team OOMI was the only Indian team to reach the Global Top 3, making this a moment of pride for both the chapter and the country.
Adding to this success, Team Stubblet from Neerja Modi School achieved a breakthrough by entering the TYE Global Semi-Finals through a wild card entry — a first-ever for TiE Rajasthan. This year also marks the first time in the chapter’s history that two teams qualified to represent TiE Rajasthan at the Global Finals, highlighting the chapter’s growing role in developing globally competitive student entrepreneurs.
From among 29 international finalist teams, only six were shortlisted to pitch at the final stage. The presence and performance of both teams from TiE Rajasthan demonstrates the impact of focused mentorship and strong academic and community support. Their success reflects what is possible when young minds are empowered with the right guidance, exposure, and opportunity.
