Chulalongkorn University and Krungthai Bank Public Company Limited continue their strategic collaboration to advance education and human resource development under the People Excellence project. The initiative focuses on enhancing the capabilities of personnel from both institutions while transferring knowledge to society. The signing ceremony was presided over by Prof. Dr. Wilert Puriwat, President of Chulalongkorn University, and Mr. Payong Srivanich, President and CEO of Krungthai Bank, on September 1, 2025, at Chula Narumit House. 

Prof. Dr. Wilert Puriwat, President of Chulalongkorn University, stated: 

“Chula has initiated several projects with Krungthai Bank under this collaborative framework to equip our students with financial literacy, in line with the university’s mission. We also promote and support social enterprises, enabling students to gain real-world experience working with Krungthai Bank alongside their studies. Upon graduation, they are job-ready and able to apply their knowledge to benefit society. Furthermore, the outcomes can be extended to various projects beyond finance alone.” 

Mr. Payong Srivanich, President and CEO of Krungthai Bank, said: 

“Our collaboration with Chula under People Excellence is not limited to students but also includes university staff, with plans to extend this knowledge to external personnel and the general public through various programs. Krungthai Bank is committed to sharing expertise to ensure well-rounded benefits for participants. This cooperation not only develops quality human resources for society but also aligns with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), emphasizing education and inclusive economic growth.”
