Stanford has instituted the Stanford Asia Technology Initiative, a programme that seeks to foster entrepreneurship by offering students a chance to work in a real world venture in Asia. The Stanford ATI programme offers placements in Bangalore, Tokyo and Shanghai.
This year, four Stanford ATI fellows -- Sujey is one of them -- interned with Bangalore-based companies like TCS, Biocon and Infosys.
Kapil Vishwananthan, a Stanford alumnus who helped start the ATI programme, says Bangalore was added to the Asian hotspots list in 1999.
