Indorama Ventures Public Company Limited (IVL) is partnering with Chulalongkorn University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) on the Chula Leaders for Global Operations (Chula LGO) Program.
This, strengthening its push to build a world-class talent pipeline and accelerate innovation, operational excellence and sustainable growth.
The two-year dual-degree master's program, offered by Chulalongkorn University through its Faculty of Engineering and Chulalongkorn Business School in partnership with MIT Leaders for Global Operations (LGO), combines engineering, business management, leadership development and industry-based learning.
Graduates earn a Master of Engineering from Chulalongkorn University and an MBA from Chulalongkorn Business School, equipping them to tackle increasingly complex industrial and operational challenges.
As a Tier Founder Sponsor, Indorama Ventures is funding two scholarships for outstanding students in the program. This year's recipients include an external student and an existing Indorama Ventures employee, highlighting the company's dual focus on attracting new talent and developing its own people.
The scholarship recipients will also complete a six-month fellowship with Indorama Ventures after finishing the program, gaining hands-on exposure to industrial operations and business transformation initiatives across the organization. They may subsequently pursue careers with the company as part of its long-term strategy to build a diverse, high-performing and future-ready workforce.
Aloke Lohia, Group CEO of Indorama Ventures, said, “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.”
Nicolas Seguin, Chief Human Resources Officer of Indorama Ventures, added “At Indorama Ventures, we believe our greatest asset is our people. These scholarships reflect our commitment to developing talent at every stage of the professional journey, supporting outstanding external students while also investing in the continued growth of our own employees.
'Combined with the fellowship program, the initiative gives participants the opportunity to learn alongside our experienced professionals, gain first-hand exposure to a global chemicals manufacturing environment, and apply their knowledge to real business challenges.”
Professor Sawekchai Tangaramvong, Chair of the Chula–Leaders for Global Operations (Chula LGO) Program, said “Indorama Ventures' support strengthens the Chula LGO Program's ability to connect interdisciplinary education with real industrial challenges beyond the classroom.
"Through the scholarships and fellowship program, students gain invaluable industry experience while developing the engineering, management, and leadership capabilities needed to solve complex challenges. These experiences help prepare graduates to contribute to Thailand's industrial transformation and sustainable growth.”
