Tell us about your International Experience trip. Where did you go? What was your favorite part?
I did my International Experience in India, where I had the opportunity to see firsthand the country's rapidly evolving economic landscape. Engaging with industry leaders like Tata and the National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI) was eye-opening, and showed me the uniquely localized way in which these organizations scale innovation in a country with 1.5 billion people.
My favorite experience in India was a midnight street food tour on Mohammad Ali Road in Mumbai during Ramadan iftar. The atmosphere was electric - packed, lively, and overflowing with energy. Navigating the crowded stalls to sample incredible local dishes felt like seeing the most authentic side of India. Not only did I get to eat delicious food, I got to vividly experience the communal spirit and the vibrant chaos that defines Mumbai's character. That night provided me a very important experience, balancing our formal corporate visits with a raw look at the local culture and the pulse of India.
