| FROM Nanyang Admissions Blog: EY Entrepreneur of the Year Awards Gala |
|
Submitted by Aswathi Suresh, Co-Chair of the Marketing & Entrepreneurship Club The EY Entrepreneur of the Year Award is a prestigious business award that is handed out every year in multiple countries across the world to honor enterprising entrepreneurs who have made outstanding contributions to their local economies. Within Singapore, the annual awards gala ceremony has evolved into a tradition and a hallmark event of the business community and this year, the Nanyang MBA was privileged to be a part of it. The only MBA program to be represented at the event, the school was represented by Anggonno Natalnugroho and Aswathi Suresh, co-chairs of the Marketing and Entrepreneurship club. ![]() The 2014 event was held at the Ritz Carlton on the 2nd of December 2014 and the students were at their prettiest best for the black tie event. The actual awards ceremony was preceded by a cocktail networking session where the students got to meet and interact with senior EY executives as well as executives from EY client companies, covering industries as diverse as financial services to construction, healthcare to government. The insights they were able to provide on current trends in their industries, and on doing business in the Singapore environment were invaluable to the students, both of whom are from outside Singapore. ![]() They were also fortunate to be able to have a one-on-one personal session with each of the four finalists – Dr. Kar Wong, CEO of Advanced Group of Companies who was the eventual winner, Mr. Alfred Chua, CEO of The Wok People, Mr. Ong Tze Boon, CEO of Ong&Ong Group and Ms. Susan Chong, CEO of Greenpac Pte Ltd. It turned out that Dr. Kar Wong had quite the personal connection to the Nanyang Business School – a few of his former colleagues and friends are currently undergoing the Executive MBA program, and he said that the program came highly recommended from them and he expressed the desire to visit the school in the future. ![]() During the event, the students were seated along with some representatives from Singapore’s young and dynamic entrepreneurship community. Closer in age to the MBA cohort, these entrepreneurs were able to relate easily to the students and detail the highs and lows of their entrepreneurial journeys. In conclusion, the event was an exciting eye-opener for the students, who came back from it thoroughly inspired and energized, hoping that the Nanyang MBA will be able to continue this tradition of attending this event for all future batches as well.

|
Submitted by Reina Wong, Student Exco VP Communications The Nanyang MBA participated in the John Molson MBA International Case Competition held on 5 to 9 January at Montreal, Canada. The team comprising of Cory Reid, Aswathi Suresh, Sunitha Vijiyasingam and Jonah Wong emerged as division champion, and eventually beat all other semi-finalists and finalists and emerged as the champion team. In fact, the team won every single round of the 7 intensive cases throughout the competition. It is also the first time an Asian school won in this prestigious international competition. (News coverage on Channel News Asia, Straits Times, NTU Website) On the final day after the results were announced, the class was immediately informed and we decided to hold a celebration in the form of a homecoming party for the team. We celebrated the team’s victory on 13 January at The Attic at NTU’s Campus Clubhouse. It was also a chance for the class to get together after an exciting 2-week vacation where many of us went back to our home country or went overseas for holiday. By 9pm, many of us had arrived at the lounge and we enjoyed some finger food along with drinks from a selection of beverage. Much laughter was heard throughout the party while the class mingled to catch up with each other in the midst of our hectic schoolwork schedule. ![]() ![]() Professor Vijay Sethi, the team’s mentor, graced the event and celebrated the team’s victory together with the class. Akshay Regulagedda, a Nanyang MBA Alumni and also the team’s coach while they were at Montreal, attended the event and shared stories about the team’s participation in the competition. Gaurav Goel, a Nanyang MBA Alumni and one of the team’s coaches, was also present at the party and he shared his own experience and learning when he joined the competition 2 years ago. ![]() At the end of the celebration, Professor Vijay Sethi gave an inspiring speech to the class on the history of NTU’s teams at the John Molson International MBA Case Competition, and encouraged everyone of us in the class to believe in our own abilities and build confidence by the end of our one year at the Nanyang MBA Program. All in all, we are extremely proud of the Nanyang Team who brought back the Champion Cup to the school. We hope to see more student achievements in the various upcoming competitions. ![]() For more information about Nanyang Business School click here. |

Submitted by Reina Wong, Student Exco VP Communications The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) invited the Nanyang MBA for a networking drink session on 28 Jan. Six students from the Nanyang MBA, Cory, Vivek, Stony, Jiajia, Chantel and Reina, attended the session held at Drinks and Co. at Club Street. CUHK also invited participants from other MBA programs in Singapore including Insead, NUS and SMU. The attendance of the event was great, and the venue was soon filled with enthusiastic networking conversations. The 6 of us had a great time networking with both full-timers and part-timers from other schools. We were also happy to meet people from our home countries, as well as people from different cultures and backgrounds. ![]() During the networking, we brought up the upcoming MBA Olympics (1 Feb) organized by the Nanyang MBA, and we were pleased to know that some of them will be attending the event. Inter-MBA events allow us to interact and know new people who may have the same business and personal interests, enabling us to expand our network and make new friends. We hope to see more similar events in future. For more information about Nanyang Business School click here. |
