Congratulations RAVI – “Bridging cultures, building opportunities: The Konnect Vision”::

In today’s globalized world, the ability to adapt and thrive in a foreign country is invaluable. Konnect, founded by Ravi Shankar Pandit, a visionary entrepreneur and graduate of the TIAS program (4th Batch-Sports Management module) at the University of Tsukuba, Japan, embodies a mission to ease the transition for foreigners living in or moving to new countries, starting with South Korea.

His AI-powered digital platform shall serve as a comprehensive guide covering essential services such as navigation, socializing, entertainment, tourism, local travel, and professional opportunities including jobs and internships. At Konnect, operations are aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly Goal 10 – reducing inequalities. The services are designed not only to help foreigners integrate into South Korean society, but also to provide equal opportunities for social and professional engagement.

In this way, Ravi aims to create a more inclusive community that supports diverse backgrounds and experiences. Since its inception, Konnect has grown significantly and achieved important milestones such as securing patents for its innovative mobile application and winning prestigious startup competitions at the Seoul International Invention Fair, Daejeon Creative Economy Economic Center, and DISTEP. His efforts have been recognized with various awards, reflecting his commitment to excellence and innovation in bridging cultures. He truly believes in exploring cultures from a young age and calls on college students in Japan and around the world to conduct their internships in South Korea.

These opportunities are not only a gateway to professional development, but also a chance to make a tangible impact in fostering a more inclusive and connected world. To expand its reach and enhance its offerings, Konnect is actively seeking partnerships with companies and investors who share its vision of a seamlessly connected world.
