A Global Journey of Growth: 15 Days in Bangkok

Securing selection for the Global Innovation Internship Program was a significant milestone. Traveling to Bangkok, Thailand, for my first international internship meant stepping completely outside my comfort zone. Exploring the gorgeous AIT campus, boarding my first flight, and adapting to a new country was an incredibly enriching experience.

Interacting with distinguished experts like Dr. Rishi Jain, Dr. Nitin K. Tripathi, and KMITL researchers helped me align academic concepts with real-world problems. The combination of prompt engineering, data analytics, GIS, and robotics labs opened fresh avenues for research.

Beyond technology, this journey taught me about cultural diversity, community connection, and professional communication. Sharing these experiences with close friends and building a global network has motivated me to work harder and dream bigger.

From the initial selection to flying to Bangkok, and then traveling to the AIT campus and staying there for 15 days was a completely unique, life-changing experience that I will never forget. The continuous academic guidance of Dr. Rishi Jain and Prof. Nitin Tripathi, along with the incredible support of Akash sir, Vaishnavii ma'am, and Yash sir, made this international journey truly memorable.
