“On February 20th, 2021, a team of Chula sophomores, including two BBA students and two ISE students, won the SCG Bangkok Business Challenge Thailand Competition 2021 at Sasin as well as a spot in the Global Competition. The team includes Mr. Chavaroj Thongpoch and Ms. Napassorn Triwiratchakul from BBA together with Mr. Thanapat Pornsirianant and Mr. Krit Uthaisang from ISE. With the theme “Growing Beyond Profit with Sustainable Innovation," the team was able to clinch the award through months of hard-work and dedication. Our idea is to transform a local by-product from the silk industry into a nutritious protein shake powder to provide more options for people at a more affordable price. The competition is known to be Asia's longest-running global student startup competition. Due to the growing COVID-19 situation, the competition was organised virtually with a total of 58 teams nationwide, including both undergraduate and postgraduate students, competed against one another to win the spot in the Global Round. Also, the team would like to extend their sincere gratitude to the BBA and ISE International Program, the advisors, and the judges, who have given the team great assistance and helpful guidance throughout the competition.”
