“My heart is still so full of the memories, friends, and knowledge I was able to bring back home through the Tech Camp Nepal platform”, says Alice Peter Bhagtaney. Alice, along with six more PUAN members has participated in South Asia Tech Camp Nepal Reconnect in April and believes that the experience has been truly enriching both personally as well as professionally.
Alice Peter Bhagtaney is our IVLP 2022 alumna and is basically journalist-turned-entrepreneur. In 2021, she co-founded Upstream – a boutique ad agency that operates like an extended arm for small and medium-sized local and international businesses especially new and upcoming startups.
While recapping the major take-aways, Alice shared that the realization that, as media professionals, they all were facing the same challenges across the region was eye-opening, but something that made the participants feel like they were not alone in their battles. For her, however, the highlight of the event was the cross-border exchange, love, and warmth. She is grateful and honored to have shared the stage with so many of my inspiring colleagues from Pakistan and the rest of the region.
Let’s see some of the highlights from her trip.
