There are over 1000 IIT graduates who now work in Singapore, many in high profile jobs such as the provost of SMU, Rajendra Kumar Srivastava. S N Venkat, [Senior Associate Director of the Office of Postgraduate Professional Programme], said that "Most IITians coming here have had significant work experience and they have filled a gap in Singapore's existing skills". At the PanIIT's 2012 annual conference, [SMU Chairman] Ho Kwon Ping gave a keynote speech, in which he warned that Asia's rise is not predetermined and argued that the continent must produce a basket of intellectual solutions to address Asia's chronic social inequality.
