Focus India is a flagship project within the bachelor degree program of the University of Applied Sciences and Arts Northwestern Switzerland (FHNW). Organized by students for students in their final year, it allows them to apply and enhance the skills learned in school. Through the close collaboration with industrial partners, Focus India will be in its 14th consecutive successful year. For the past years this project has enriched numerous students with valuable skills. Not only the project team members have profited from this unique experience, also the communication team members as well as delegation members have broadened their horizons and have gone on to start remarkable careers or graduate programs after their graduation.

”In the one year that I was part of Focus India, I have learned more than I initially imagined I would. In addition to theoretical classes at school, I acquired practical skills within the scope of the project that prepared me for my job after my studies and therewith, my future career path. Most importantly, I had the chance to work in a business environment that is different from what I had seen and learned here in Switzerland. This truly amazing experience not only taught me how to conduct business in another country, but also brought me closer to my cultural heritage.”
“During the on-site seminar the whole Focus India delegation had the unique chance to visit various types of multinational as well as local corporations from different industries and backgrounds. The possibility to get an in-depth insight into the Indian culture and the way of doing business in India was amazing and could not be more genuine and educational. Even though, the whole trip throughout India was tough and challenging at some points, I can truthfully recommend everyone to take the unique chance and sign up to actively participate in Focus India Business Program.”
“There is no better way to obtain skills and competences, which will help you in your everyday business life than being part of Focus India. Furthermore, this project is a must have for establishing first class business contacts and will be the highlight in everyone’s curriculum vitae.”
