It was a huge moment for Sushant Pareek, who looking back at the event said, “It was a spectacular function with so many business gurus present. Several of them are role models for us and it was amazing to be in the same space as them.” The conference was about knowledge sharing against a cultural backdrop as well. That was achieved during the visits to Nanyang and the National University of Singapore, where the students got a peek into the lives of their Singaporean counterparts. Spending times in the classrooms and being shown around the library and campus made for a very interesting visit indeed.
Despite the many cultural differences, the similarities in ambitions and aspirations were not lost on the students. As Priyanka Pandey pointed out, “We were curious to see how students lived there and behaved on the campus. What facilities they had access to and things that motivated them. It was exciting to have that experience.” A visit to Action Community by Entrepreneurship, Singapore’s special platform for start-ups and young entrepreneurs, was another eye-opening experience. As they interacted with young entrepreneurs they understood their vision and conviction, which is integral to meet the challenges they face.
Thus, it was a comprehensive learning experience for the students from JKBS, who returned with a fresh perspective on academics, culture and inspiration to pursue their entrepreneurial dreams. Parth Gaur summed up the experience when he said, “It was unbelievable to be in Singapore for three days, meet so many renowned people and interact with the students from a foreign university. We are grateful to JKBS for giving us an experience that we are going to treasure for a lifetime.” And that was mission accomplished for the institute that strives to offer its students a truly global exposure
