Empowering Dreams: Samsung Innovation Campus Toppers Visit Samsung India Head Office, R&D Centres and Design Centre

Nine bright young minds from Samsung Innovation Campus, the company’s flagship CSR programme, got a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to visit Samsung India’s head office and its state-of-the-art R&D centres and Design Centre.

Samsung Innovation Campus upskills the Indian youth in future-tech skills such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), Big Data, Internet of Things (IoT) and Coding & Programming. The students, eight toppers and one social media champion from the programme, got a first-hand look at the technology and the people driving Samsung’s cutting-edge innovations.

The students interacted with JB Park, President and CEO at Samsung Southwest Asia, besides other senior leaders at Samsung India.

“Samsung Innovation Campus is for the youth of India to prepare them for a digital future. We aim to upskill youth in future technologies and enhance their employability. It is a proud moment for me to meet young beneficiaries of the programme. I believe the youth, especially from smaller cities in India, have unlimited potential, and I wish them all the best,” said JB Park.

The students arrived at the Samsung head office from all corners of India: Manish Singh and Prince Chauhan from Gorakhpur, specializing in AI; Mukesh Kumar Pandey and Anchal Verma, also from Gorakhpur, studying Big Data; Amit Kumar Maurya from Gorakhpur and Suhani S Gaonkat from Bengaluru, focusing on Coding & Programming; and Alok Singh and Subin Thomson from Delhi, training in IoT.

The group was joined by Saurabh Yadav, a Samsung Innovation Campus Media Champion studying AI. Saurabh recorded 100 days of his Samsung Innovation Campus experience in as many posts on his social media handles.

In Noida and New Delhi, they interacted with the Managing Directors of the R&D centres, who shared valuable insights on the importance of innovation, collaboration, and continuous learning.

“Being here has been a life-changing experience. Meeting the people, who create technology that impacts millions of lives was beyond anything I had imagined,” said Manish Singh from Gorakhpur.

“The exposure to cutting-edge R&D and the emphasis on learning at every step have inspired me to aim higher. This experience will stay with me forever,” said Anchal Verma from Gorakhpur.

A visit to Samsung Design Delhi left the group awestruck by the creativity and futuristic designs shaping Samsung’s vision for tomorrow.

“The design centre showed me how innovation and aesthetics come together. It was fascinating to see how Samsung envisions the future through design,” said Suhani S Gaonkar.

Aligned with the Government of India’s #SkillIndia and #DigitalIndia initiatives, Samsung Innovation Campus focuses on equipping youth with skills in high-demand tech fields, including AI, IoT, Big Data, and Coding & Programming.

In 2024, Samsung Innovation Campus conducted 12 certification events across educational institutes in Uttar Pradesh, Delhi NCR, Tamil Nadu, and Karnataka.

The interactions not only inspired the students but also reinforced Samsung’s commitment to nurturing young talent, especially from smaller cities and towns, and prepare them for a brighter, more digital future.
