From Odisha to Singapore, Powered by Purpose<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p>

With a degree in Electronics and Telecommunication Engineering and hands-on industry experience, Anshita Priyadarshini from Odisha, India, had a solid foundation in tech. But something was missing. While engineering had taught her how systems worked, she longed to make them work better\u2014more efficiently, and more sustainably. That deeper purpose led her to Singapore, where she is now pursuing a Master of Science in Green Electronics at TUM Asia.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

The <\/span>programme<\/span> stood out for its unique blend of advanced electronics and sustainability. \u201cIt\u2019s not just about building better devices,\u201d she says, \u201cit\u2019s about building a better future.\u201d The interdisciplinary curriculum\u2014spanning renewable energy, nanofabrication, and bioelectronics\u2014resonated with her vision of using technology to create real-world impact.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Singapore\u2019s ecosystem played a role in her decision too. As a global innovation hub, the city\u2019s strong push for green tech, smart transport systems, and sustainable industry aligned perfectly with her interests. \u201cYou can see sustainability in action here\u2014from the public transport\u2019s carbon tracking to government-led climate initiatives.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

\"\"<\/p>

Passion Beyond the Classroom<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Beyond the classroom, Anshita is just as intentional. A self-proclaimed book lover, she has recently found joy in nature, spending weekends hiking and walking in Singapore\u2019s many parks. \u201cThese small moments help me stay grounded\u2014and remind me why sustainability matters.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Academically, she\u2019s found the experience both rigorous and rewarding. Professors like Dr.-Ing. Dr. H.C. Alexander W. Koch<\/a> and Prof. Ali Kemal Yetisen bring depth to the coursework through real-world applications. Prof. Yetisen\u2019s class on Bioelectronics opened my eyes to the possibilities in healthcare tech. It was a perfect blend of electronics and human impact.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

But her journey hasn\u2019t been without its challenges. During her early college years, Anshita struggled to stay motivated in the face of stiff competition. \u201cI felt lost. But eventually, I <\/span>realised<\/span> success isn\u2019t just about being the best\u2014it\u2019s about knowing your purpose.\u201d That insight, combined with her natural curiosity and drive, helped her rediscover her passion.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

The COVID-19 lockdowns in 2020 marked another turning point. Like many, she hit a low\u2014disconnected from studies and unsure about the future. But instead of giving up, she dug deep, drawing inspiration from everyday stories and resilient peers. \u201cEven something as simple as the Froggy King story reminded me to keep going.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Aspirations for the Future<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Today, she is looking ahead. Her immediate goal is to complete her thesis and secure an impactful internship. Long term, she hopes to pursue a PhD and return to academia\u2014not just to teach, but to drive research that advances green technologies and inspires the next generation of changemakers.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

\u201cMy dream is to spark change back home. True sustainability starts with awareness\u2014small choices, daily habits. If I can help young people in India understand that, I\u2019ll consider my work meaningful.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Her advice for prospective students? \u201cDon\u2019t choose a master\u2019s as a way out\u2014choose it as a way forward. Know your interests, research the curriculum, and be intentional with your time. This path isn\u2019t easy, but it\u2019s worth it.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>
