#12One good way to start would be to add the url/details in this post as well.
Next, as suggested in other comments Reddit is nice, then Quora is also big hangout for many of your target audience (at least in India).
Would probably need more details on the product to suggest anything more specific.
If you are willing to spend some money, make a fb page and get some fb ads with product details, beta tester incentives and target to specific universities/colleges/companies perhaps...

#13You could look for top universities in Brazil and India in google, and then look for Facebook and Linkedin communities among those universities. After that you can post a message in those communities looking for beta testers.

#14Post the link here as well. Some students from India/Brazil and other countries would be reading hackernews as well and can spread the word. As others have suggested, try posting in reddit groups as well.
