The program was a unique chance at not only learning from the top academics but also, to gain practical exposure to the problems faced by companies, through direct interactions with industry experts. The constant learning and problem-solving kept us as academic mentors on our toes. Stimulating excited brainstorming was a challenge made easier by the efficient planning by the organizers coupled with the students’ enthusiasm. I was very proud of the final presentations which were enriched with innovative and thoroughly reality-checked ideas. The daily game nights and virtual tours were the cherry on top which allowed for cross-cultural bonding outside class-timings. I am happy to have forged strong friendships through this program!”

The COVID pandemic has changed the way we connect and nowhere is this more visible than in the education sector. However, as we need to continuously move ahead and find new ways to learn and engage, coordinating and encouraging students to come together becomes an important task. The NTU-JGU Virtual program has been a great opportunity for students like me to engage with other students not just from different schools of JGU, but also with students from Nottingham. Throughout the program we received many valuable insights in the field of climate change, sustainability, energy as well as socio-economic and political factors related to these fields. I personally enjoyed learning about an upcoming technology to store energy through a greener and sustainable way and presenting the case study with my insights and ideas to the representative of the company Cheesecake Energy Limited for the market opportunities of their storage technology in India. I also enjoyed various activities like the pub quiz as well as the team interaction sessions which helped me in understanding different aspects of student life in UK. Many thanks to all the coordinators especially Prof. Soumyadip, Rachel and Chris for making this program possible.

JGU-NTU Programme on “Comparative study of energy markets in India and UK” provided me the exposure in emerging energy scenario especially renewables in India and UK. It was an insightful journey with team-working, social activities, and lectures making it a true-learning experience. The much needed exposure with the industry and working on business case was a crucial ingredient to the program. It helped me to work in a team setting to work for a business/policy issue with people of diverse backgrounds and cultures.

Being a part of a program like “Business Sustainability in India and the UK within the Energy Sector” program organized in collaboration between Nottingham Trent University, UK and OP Jindal University, India, and funded by UKIERI, I feel really privileged to have this excellent opportunity. I really enjoyed the curriculum and got the chance to work closely with Jindal Steel Power limited. It also gave me a chance to know about the importance of sustainability goals and understand the importance of business from a sustainability point. I will cherish all the memories forever and would thank JSBF for this opportunity.

The JGU-NTU Virtual Program was an extremely insightful experience. It helped me develop a better understanding of the relevance of sustainability in conducting business operations effectively and efficiently. Furthermore, since the teams consisted of members from different cultural backgrounds, it gave me an opportunity to appreciate the multiple approaches, perspectives and ideas to achieve corporate sustainability.

The virtual study was one of the more interesting experiences I had during this pandemic. The opportunity to not just hear, but eventually make a presentation with recommendations on various aspects such as sustainable to industry experts allowed me to think beyond the set meters of academics and analyse markets in a more engaging way. I was part of Group 2 and we were involved with working on Cheesecake energy, which was one of the companies that already looked at sustainability as integral for their product but were also interested in reaching out to the Indian markets. It was only once we began analysing energy markets in India in greater detail (to provide recommendations) that I could truly appreciate the kind of research that goes into approaching a new market space for an established business. Even as the pandemic continues, today I’m able to recognise this programme as the boon that it was within such otherwise constraining times. I was able to connect with students across the two universities not just during the presentation but also through the many activities offered. Looking back, I see how the academic lectures helped add more nuance to our research and discussions with founders. Having been introduced to the energy market for the first time through this program, I can say with certainty that the programme has picked my interest in this field and I have enjoyed the opportunity.
