Introduction 🎉
Hello everyone! Whenever I find the time, I delight in sharing my journey and experiences through blogging.
My Graduation 🎓
I am thrilled to announce my graduation from the NetMission Academy, which was officially marked on February 22, 2024. Starting from December 14, 2023, every Thursday at 6 PM IST, it has been an immensely rewarding journey of learning and growth.
The timeline showcases the learning path and webinars of the NetMission Academy program.
The NetMission Experience 🌐
NetMission Academy offered a series of online sessions aimed at equipping young minds with the knowledge and skills necessary to engage in Internet policymaking. The program included informative webinars, interactive workshops, and a closing ceremony—all facilitated by expert guest speakers.
Working Group Dynamics 👥
Within the academy, I was a member of working group 3 (WG#3), a team of incredible individuals like Barkha Manral, Sanduni Sathsara, Noor, and Alya Rezal. We all played an active role and were responsible for tasks such as session summaries, speaker questions, and case studies.
Case Studies Focus 🔍
Our working group selected “Diversity, Inclusion & Sustainability on the Internet & Internet Governance” as our theme for the case studies. We zoomed into “Olam’s digital transformation and climate action in Singapore” and “Phasing out fossil fuel subsidies and advocating renewable energy” as our focal projects.
Here is a snapshot of me presenting our group’s case study on Phasing Out Fossil Fuels.
Lessons Learned 📚
Throughout this journey, I fully immersed myself in group dialogues, inquired during speaker sessions, and gained rich insights on topics like:
- Internet Governance Ecosystem & Internet Infrastructure 🌐
- Access and Empowerment 👥
- Human Rights Online 🛡️
- Cybersecurity, Privacy & Safer Internet 🔒
- Digital Economy and Emerging Technologies 💡
- Diversity, Inclusion & Sustainability on the Internet 🌿
- ICANN Policies 📜

The closing ceremony not only celebrated our achievements but also laid out exciting future opportunities. Discovering my engagement had earned me recognition among actively engaged participants felt incredibly rewarding.
A proud moment being mentioned as one of the future leaders in internet governance.
