Technopreneurship

Build tech that matters

Got an idea? Make it happen.

Rohan Senthil, founder of Virage

Diploma in Cybersecurity & Digital Forensics, Class of 2025

 

"While volunteering to teach seniors digital skills and cyber hygiene, I saw how widespread scams were and how difficult it was for learners to relate to conventional scam-awareness lessons. Inspired by ethical hacking, I developed Virage, a "Voice Illusion" platform that uses realistic simulations to raise awareness."

    Diploma in Information Technology (now offered as Diploma in Computing), Class of 2026

     

    "ArchAIve began as a semester project, and I never imagined it would evolve into a solution that helps safeguard Singapore’s heritage records. Through stakeholder engagement, networking, and countless iterations, I learnt that technopreneurship is not about having all the answers from the start. It is about staying curious, disciplined, and resilient enough to learn from every failure."

    • Info-Communications Media Development Authority (IMDA) Award for Outstanding Achievement
    • Lee Kuan Yew Award for Mathematics and Science
    • Accenture Gold Medal for Outstanding Academic Performance

    "ArchAIve was a leap of faith towards a dream where technology brought heritage closer to us in our everyday lives. At each step, my lecturers were there to support my team and me, providing us not just technical expertise, but business guidance as we sought our first clients. My technopreneurship journey opened my eyes up to the possibilities beyond the classroom; I learnt to build with purpose, pitch, and manage real-world relationships. I am incredibly grateful to NYP for pushing us to explore and experiment to deliver real-world impact with our tech skills."

    • SCS Award for Outstanding Project Work

    Teo Yu Xiang, co-founder of AM Digiparts

    Diploma in Information Technology (now offered as Diploma in Computing), Year 3

     

    "I had the opportunity to learn the technical side of building products, but the Technopreneurship pathway added another layer to that experience. The mentors were willing to both support and challenge our ideas, and the school opened doors for us to meet people outside NYP and learn from their actual business problems. I had been given the privilege to take ownership of the technical work, learn from feedback and keep working through the parts that did not go as planned. It showed me that a student idea can become something worth building seriously."
