Anurag Kumar Singh
As a young individual who had never flown until my first year of college, the world of travel has opened my eyes to limitless possibilities and inspired my journey as an innovator in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning, as well as a passionate artist and photographer.
In my first year of pursuing a Bachelor of Technology in Computer Science and Engineering, I was fortunate to work on a project that addressed a real-world problem using IoT. Alongside three talented international students, we won first prize at the IoT Championship. This achievement not only boosted my confidence but also earned me an invitation from the government tourism board of Oman, which I used as an opportunity to surprise my parents with their first international trip.
During this trip, I encountered a widespread issue, Color Vision Deficiency (CVD)—that many individuals face but often goes unaddressed. This sparked a passion in me to delve deeper into this subject. Upon returning to India, I dedicated over a year to researching and developing a project focused on detecting and addressing CVD. My efforts were recognized in 2023 when I was honored with the ISTE Award for Young Engineer Innovators for the Best B.Tech Project in Computer Science & Engineering, further securing a grant to continue my work.
Beyond my work as an innovator, I have a deep love for the arts. I’m a glass painter, using vibrant colors to bring stories to life, and photography has become another medium for me to express myself. Capturing moments, whether it’s a fleeting expression, the play of light on nature, or the details of cultural traditions, has always been my passion. I believe that art is a bridge between cultures, and it helps me see the world through a different lens. This passion drives my desire to travel, explore, and learn from different artistic traditions.
A trip to Vietnam would be an invaluable opportunity for me to immerse myself in a rich tapestry of culture, art, and nature, further fueling my creative and innovative process. From Vietnam’s centuries-old glass art traditions to its breathtaking landscapes, I am excited to explore and draw inspiration. I also envision collaborating with local artists, exchanging ideas, and applying what I learn to enhance both my technological and artistic projects back in India.
In a world that thrives on innovation and creativity, I believe experiencing diverse cultures is crucial for developing holistic solutions to pressing issues. The beauty of Vietnam’s culture and art will undoubtedly inspire new dimensions in both my artistic expression and my work in technology. I am eager to embrace the adventures that await in Vietnam and am committed to sharing my experiences through social media and contributing to VietJet's promotional activities.
Thank you for considering my application. I look forward to the opportunity to explore Vietnam, engage with its vibrant culture, and continue my journey as both an innovator and an artist.
