Indorama Ventures Backs Chula LGO Program With Scholarships

Indorama Ventures Public Company Limited is partnering with Chulalongkorn University and Massachusetts Institute of Technology on the Chula Leaders for Global Operations, or Chula LGO, program.
The two-year dual-degree master’s program is offered by Chulalongkorn University through the Faculty of Engineering and Chulalongkorn Business School and was developed in partnership with MIT Leaders for Global Operations. It integrates engineering, business management, leadership development and industry-based learning to prepare future leaders for industrial and operational challenges.
Graduates will receive a Master of Engineering degree from Chulalongkorn University and an MBA from Chulalongkorn Business School.
As a Tier Founder Sponsor, Indorama Ventures is funding two scholarships for students pursuing the program. This year’s recipients include one external student and one existing Indorama Ventures employee. The scholarships were presented to Raja Chairmapandi and Vasika Nakornvarittipong.
Upon completion of the program, scholarship recipients will undertake a six-month fellowship with Indorama Ventures, gaining exposure to industrial operations and business transformation initiatives across the organization. They also will have the opportunity to pursue careers with the company.
“Developing future leaders with both technical expertise and business acumen is essential to driving innovation and long-term value. That is why Indorama Ventures chose to become a Founder Sponsor of the Chula LGO Program as we believe Thailand is home to exceptional talent. By combining world-class education with industry collaboration today, we are helping develop the next generation of leaders who will contribute toward the future of the broader chemical industry,” said Aloke Lohia, group CEO of Indorama Ventures.
Nicolas Seguin, chief human resources officer, said the scholarships support both external students and current employees while the fellowship gives participants first-hand exposure to a global chemicals manufacturing environment.
Professor Sawekchai Tangaramvong, chair of the Chula LGO Program, said the partnership connects interdisciplinary education with industrial challenges and gives students experience applying engineering, management and leadership skills outside the classroom.
Developing technical and operational talent remains important for chemical and coatings manufacturers facing increasingly complex manufacturing, innovation and workforce needs. Explore more PCI company news.
