From New Delhi to Singapore: How SIM Global Education Shaped Devanshi Soni's Global Journey

When Devanshi Soni first visited Singapore in 2017 as a teenager on vacation, she felt an instant connection. 'I remember thinking, 'I want to live here one day,'' she recalls. Years later, that vision became reality. Today, Devanshi is a proud graduate of the University of London (UOL)'s Bachelor of Science (Hons) in Business and Management programme at SIM Global Education (SIM GE) and is now building a purposeful career as a Sustainability Consultant at Sustainable Living Lab (SL2) in Singapore — a transformation deeply shaped by her academic and personal experiences in Singapore and at SIM GE. SIM: A Leader in Global Education For over 60 years, the Singapore Institute of Management (SIM) has evolved as an International Institute of Higher Learning, committed to empowering individuals and strengthening talent and employability for all seasons of life. By maximising learners' potential and providing accessible, flexible learning pathways, SIM enables individuals, businesses, and society to Learn for Life and Thrive for Life in a fast-changing world. As a key entity of SIM, SIM GE has been at the forefront of private higher education, offering over 140 diploma, undergraduate, and postgraduate programmes in partnership with top universities from Australia, Canada, the United Kingdom and the United States. With globally recognised qualifications and a vibrant, multicultural learning environment, SIM GE equips students with industry-relevant skills, global perspectives, and the confidence to thrive — whether they are starting their first degree or advancing to postgraduate study. It remains a top choice for students across Asia seeking a global education. Today, SIM GE is home to over 16,000 students annually from more than 50 countries and boasts a global network of over 200,000 alumni. Its tagline, 'Learn for Life, Thrive for Life, ' reflects SIM's commitment to lifelong learning, leadership development, and global career readiness. 'SIM wasn't just where I studied — it's where I found my voice.' Devanshi's decision to pursue her degree at SIM was influenced by both academic and personal factors. 'The University of London programme was academically rigorous, and SIM's vibrant campus life promised opportunities for holistic development,' she shares. Her journey, however, began in an unusual way — 10 days in COVID-19 isolation. 'It was overwhelming at first, but SIM supported me from day one. That is when I first felt the warmth of the SIM community.' She quickly immersed herself in campus life, becoming a Student Ambassador and taking on leadership roles in student clubs such as the SIM Young Entrepreneur Network, the Investment & Networking Club, and the SIM Economics Society. She also represented SIM at international events such as the ESSEC Hackathon, where her team won first place for a sustainable saltwater lamp prototype. From Campus to Community Impact Beyond academics, SIM empowered Devanshi to lead with purpose. Volunteering with Youth Corps Singapore, she befriended elderly residents and participated in grassroots sustainability outreach. She also founded the Paalan Foundation, a youth-led NGO in Delhi that champions menstrual hygiene and educational access. 'These experiences taught me that young people don't need permission to lead change,' she reflects. 'SIM gave me the confidence to take that first step.' Real-World Preparation and Career Success SIM's academic environment challenged Devanshi to think critically and communicate effectively. 'It wasn't just about memorising facts — it was about developing real-world skills,' she says. Through SIM's career development centre, Career Connect, she received mentorship, career support, and placement opportunities, eventually receiving two job offers upon graduation — both through her own initiative. 'In my role today, I'm doing purposeful work I care deeply about — and I credit SIM for laying the foundation,' she says. Her proudest moment? Receiving the SIM EDGE Award, a holistic recognition of excellence in academics, university and community involvement, leadership, and professional development. 'It validated my growth and reminded me how far I've come.' A Parent's Perspective: "She Became a Global Citizen" Devanshi's parents were initially apprehensive about sending their daughter abroad. 'Safety was our top concern,' they share. 'Singapore offered peace of mind, a high standard of living, and a nurturing multicultural environment.' What reassured them most was SIM's structure — clear communication, strong academic credentials, and a comprehensive student support system. 'SIM's partnership with the University of London gave us confidence in the academic quality. We saw Devanshi transform into a self-assured, articulate young woman.' Their advice to fellow Indian parents? 'Choose a university where your child will be supported, seen, and stretched. For us, SIM was that place.' Why More Indian Students Are Choosing SIM Singapore has increasingly emerged as a popular study destination for Indian students — offering safety, proximity to home, cultural familiarity, and world-class education. Within this ecosystem, SIM Global Education stands out for: Partnerships with globally ranked universities Strong career services and alumni networks Student clubs and experiential learning A campus community that values diversity and inclusion As Devanshi puts it, 'SIM gives you the platform — but it is up to you to make the most of it. Everything you do here adds up.' In Conversation: Devanshi and Her Family Reflect Devanshi and her parents shared candid insights into their journey: Q: What drew you to SIM for your undergraduate studies? Devanshi: The University of London degree, combined with SIM's vibrant campus life and diverse student clubs, made it the ideal place for both academic growth and personal development. Q: How did being a Student Ambassador shape you? Devanshi: It gave me confidence and purpose. Mentoring new students taught me to lead with empathy and authenticity. Q: What will you miss most about SIM? Devanshi: The people — especially my professors and peers. And, of course, the comforting mala noodles at Food Clique! Q: As parents, what stood out to you about SIM? Devanshi's Parents : The organised structure, focus on student wellbeing, and global recognition of the degree gave us peace of mind. More importantly, we watched our daughter grow in confidence, compassion, and capability. A Launchpad for Life Devanshi Soni's story — from New Delhi to Singapore, from student to sustainability consultant, is a powerful testament to the transformative impact of a purpose-driven education. With global exposure, real-world experiences, and a deeply supportive community, SIM GE empowers students to thrive in an increasingly complex world. For Indian students seeking a future-ready education in Asia's innovation hub, SIM GE offers more than a degree — it offers a launchpad for life.

Delhi to throw 50-lakh innovation challenge to retrofit BS-IV trucks

Delhi govt is launching a research and development exercise through a competition to encourage retrofitting innovations in line with Commission for Air Quality Management 's directive banning BS-IV heavy vehicles from entering the city starting Nov 1. The govt plans to award ₹50 lakh to people or companies that develop effective technology to upgrade BS-IV trucks to BS-VI standards. It will also invest in research and innovation for converting diesel cars into electric vehicles. The initiatives aim to reduce pollution and support cleaner transportation solutions in Delhi, said environment minister Manjinder Sirsa . The selected projects will initially be given ₹5 lakh, and the technology that qualifies for use and gets the certification from National Physical Laboratory will win ₹50 lakh, Sirsa said, adding that the govt wants to encourage research and development and provide talented minds with a platform. He noted that currently, retrofitting cars into electric vehicles was a costly exercise. "If people come up with cheaper innovations, the govt is planning to consider them." The managing director of NGO International Council on Clean Transportation, Amit Bhatt, said, "Retrofitting engines with after-treatment devices can be technically possible, but the associated costs could be high." The govt will organise Industrial Ideathon 2025 in Aug, aiming to source innovative, student-led solutions to drive industrial growth in the city. Organised by Delhi State Industrial and Infrastructure Development Corporation on behalf of the industries department, it is being co-hosted by Netaji Subhas University of Technology. Sirsa said the event was part of the govt's mission to bring young innovators into the heart of industrial policymaking. "Ideathon reflects our government's commitment to digital transformation, youth empowerment and inclusive entrepreneurship." Open to over 120 interdisciplinary student teams from around 30 colleges and universities across Delhi, the competition will accept registrations from July 14 to Aug 4 on Teams of two-four students, at least one of them a woman, will participate. It invites solutions across four sectors-logistics and supply-chain management challenges, tech solutions for ease of doing business for startups and entrepreneurs, frontier technologies to revamp industrial ecosystem, and innovations to strengthen the micro, small and medium enterprises sector.
