TANGERANG – Never-ending achievement from UMN students! The UMN Informatics and Management Study Program student team with the group name “Leumpang,” successfully passed and received funding from the 2022 Entrepreneurial Student Development Program Competition (P2MW) from the Directorate of Learning and Student Affairs of the Ministry of Education, Culture, Research, and Technology.
Quoting the PMW official website, “P2MW is a business development program for students who already have businesses through development and coaching funding assistance by providing business assistance and coaching to students participating in P2MW.” Student teams can submit proposals in the following categories: food and beverage, production or cultivation, creative arts, culture and tourism industries, services and trade, or applied technology.
Following up on the letter of the Acting Director of Learning and Student Affairs Number 1946/E2/KM.05.03/2022 dated 23 April 2022 regarding P2MW 2022, the Directorate of Learning and Student Affairs has selected the substance, and budget justification of universities and students from 15 June have submitted – 6 July 2022. 316 universities and 888 student groups have passed the P2MW 2022 entrepreneurial development assistance selection. One of them is the Leumpang group with the Creative, Art, Culture, and Tourism category. The following are the members of the Leumpang team:
- Gilbert Tamin, 2019 Management Study Program.
- Chotiwut, Informatics Study Program 2019.
- Darren Denisson Chandra, Informatics Study Program 2019.
- Felicia Austin Darmawan, 2019 Management Study Program.
- Dea Noveriyanti, Informatics Study Program 2020.
The student team came from various majors and classes. Gilbert, the leader of the Leumpang team, shared that they all met through mutual friends. Gilbert and Feli (Management Study Program) is in the same major and often work together; the same goes for Choti and Darren (Informatics Study Program). Dhea (Informatics Study Program) met Choti through a committee event where they had worked together, and Dhea was known to be good at making designs. Plus, Gilbert and Choti were old friends. Hence, they were already familiar with each other’s abilities, and they finally decided to form a team and enter the P2MW competition.
Through an interview with the Leumpang team leader, Gilbert, he explained that Leumpang comes from the Sundanese language, which means “to walk.” The team name “Leumpang” is also related to the business idea brought by the UMN student team.
“So wherever we walk or are, we can hire a photo or videographer service from just one platform,” Gilbert explained. The Leumpang team brought the idea of a platform that unites photography and videography service providers, and whoever’s interested can rent easily through the platform.
After passing the P2MW competition, the Leumpang team hopes that they can immediately realize their ideas and launch the Leumpang platform to the public.
Congratulations to the Leumpang team on this achievement!
