Testimonials

” It was an eye opener and years of learning for me. I have had a lot of good memories regarding traveling, hanging out, cooking and most importantly communicating with professionals all around the world. It all happened due to emPLANT and I cordially thank emPLANT masters program for making this happen “

” I’m so glad to be a part of this program. In one year I have learnt a lot of things that I didn’t know, I just leant the European culture and other countries’ cultures and I also get a chance to visit other European countries “

” Having such an international background taught me how creativity truly blossoms when people from different cultures and perspectives come together, collaborate, and share ideas. It helps us see life through new lenses and grow in unexpected ways “
