“Let’s not lose sight of our humanity and become mere automatons in AI’s shadow. Remember, we’re all humans, not just numbers on a spreadsheet.” - #NOC Alumnus, Lee Zhihan, Co-Founder of @bagosphere 🙌🏻
With a growth mindset, Zhihan embarked on his NOC journey to Stockholm where he interned at a biomedical startup and also initiated social entrepreneurship programmes to learn more about social entrepreneurship.👏🏻 Following that, he dived deeper into social entrepreneurship through our former NOC India programme, observing a remarkable transformation of youths who became employable within 7-8 months.🤩
With that inspiration, Zhihan decided to embark on his own journey to provide opportunities for potential youths to acquire skills and be employable through BagoSphere - the startup he co-founded with Ellwyn Tan (NOC Alumnus) and his other partners in The Philippines.💪🏻✨
