discovered the National Mission for Enhanced Energy Efficiency (NMEE), a government-funded program aimed at
promoting energy efficiency and conservation. This initiative resonated deeply with my passion for personal
development and social innovation, I joined the mission under the guidance of a professor. Over the course of two
challenging yet rewarding months, I embarked on a journey to develop a user-friendly, low-cost energy monitoring
device. The project's objective was to collect data on energy consumption using WiFi sensors and Raspberry Pi
modules, ultimately helping households and industries optimize their energy use. Throughout the development
process, my ingenuity and problem-solving abilities were put to the test. I encountered several hurdles along the way,
such as integrating various software systems and ensuring the device's compatibility with diverse energy
infrastructures. However, each obstacle served as a valuable learning experience, Me alongside with my professor
spend countless hours in designing, prototyping, and testing different iterations of the device, ensuring its accuracy,
efficiency, and user-friendliness. Upon completing the energy monitoring device, I had the privilege of showcasing
it at the esteemed Science and Technology Exhibition Fair. The recognition received at the fair served as a testament
to the device's potential and my dedication. Looking ahead, I aspire to continue refining the energy monitoring device,
making it even more accessible and adaptable to various user needs. The NMEE initiative has provided me with an
invaluable platform to develop and demonstrate my skills in innovation, problem-solving, and project management,
empowering me to become a dedicated advocate.
Driven by my passion for learning and growth, I have embarked on a journey that has been marked by a series of
accomplishments and invaluable experiences. My commitment to excellence has allowed me to transition seamlessly
between diverse pursuits, each one shaping me into the well-rounded individual. I recognize the importance of
language proficiency in Business realm in an increasingly globalized world. As a result, I dedicated myself to
mastering English and Korean, culminating in an impressive 6.5 band score on the IELTS exam held on 22nd February
2025 and a LEVEL 3 with 146 marks in 96th TOPIK exam held on 13th October 2024. Armed with these achievements,
I felt the importance of blending theoretical knowledge with practical experience, therefore I set my sights on securing
another internship during my final year of bachelor’s that would provide real-world exposure to the business world.
During a highly competitive job fair in November 2024 at my university, I rose above my peers and was one of only
25 fellow classmates to receive an internship offer from ICICI Bank (a private bank of India) for the position of Sales
Manager. This opportunity offered invaluable insights into the workings of the banking industry, while also honing
my communication, negotiation, and problem-solving abilities. As I reflect on these diverse accomplishments, it
becomes clear that each milestone has been a stepping stone toward my personal and professional growth. My
achievements in language proficiency and real-world experience serve as a testament to my adaptability and
unwavering commitment to excellence. With a strong foundation already established, I eagerly anticipate the next
chapter of my journey, confident in my ability to embrace new challenges and contribute meaningfully to the world
around me.
Reflecting on the journey that has brought me to this point, I recognize the power of diverse experiences in shaping
my character and aspirations. From mastering multiple languages to thriving in internships and job fairs,
involvement in government initiatives and my fascination for Korean cultural has fuelled my intellectual curiosity.
GKS holds the power to give me a platform where I can broaden my horizons beyond the boundaries of my home
country to fulfil my ambition to inspire women entrepreneurs that has been a driving force behind my pursuit of a
Master's degree in Business Administration from South Korea. By acquiring the necessary skills and knowledge, I
aim to add the golden thread of the GKS scholarship, I am ready to embrace the challenges ahead and seize the
opportunities that await me. With the prestigious GKS scholarship, I will prove myself a dedicated scholar and a
catalyst for positive change and contributing to a brighter, more equitable future. I am committed to making
meaningful contributions to both the university and society, and I believe my dedication and potential make me a
deserving candidate for this scholarship.
