Through the GEIP, my biggest takeaway would be learning to adapt and embrace the cultural and socio-economic differences that Bangkok presents. This programme has been integral in transforming me into becoming a more articulate, independent & prudent individual, cultivating in me a greater sense of responsibility and integrity.
Bangkok
In recent years, the Thai government has turbocharged its drive to transform the economy and bolster technological capabilities, with a goal to be ranked in the top 30 of the Global Innovation Index by 2030. Over the years, numerous foreign MNCs and major tech companies have set up shop or invested in the country.

STARTUP ECOSYSTEM
Bangkok is frequently cited as one of the best startup destinations in Asia. On a global scale, the city takes the seventh spot, thanks to a welcoming culture, reasonable cost of living and sophisticated technological infrastructure.
