Follow on Google News | NUS MBA student wins international leadership award• Set up IT platform allowing NUS MBA students to maintain contact for life • Initiative supported by Google
The 24-year-old was recognised for creating an integrated application suite, called Project Maximus, which provides lifelong email accounts, unlimited photo and document storage capabilities, a knowledge and multimedia management system, collaborative learning tools and several other enterprise level productivity utilities for all NUS MBA students and alumni. The motivation for the project was borne out of Varun's keen desire to establish a platform for the NUS MBA community to work, play, enjoy, share and stay connected through all their lives. “Earlier, NUS MBA students used to lose their official student email accounts upon graduation, which sometimes results in them losing the social networks built during their MBA tenure. NUS MBA students also felt the need to have collaborative working and other knowledge management utilities, which would really enrich the value of their MBA experience,” He thus used his experience in the technology industry to come up with a sustainable, cost effective and scalable solution. Today, users can interact with each other through the student council web portal at www.nusmba.biz, which is also a part of Project Maximus. It is powered by Google Apps, a technology solution used by leading global universities like Harvard, Stanford and Yale. “It is a great honour to be conferred such a prestigious international award. I would like to thank the NUS Business School for supporting me throughout the initial stage of this project,” said Varun. The Uttar Pradesh native is currently in the final term of his course.
