Siam Organic Team, a group of Sasin MBA students, recently became the first Thais to ring the closing bell on the Nasdaq exchange in New Yoork. The team members - Peetachai Dejkraisak, Pradeep Akkunoor, Nithipong Durongwattana, Pornthida Wongphatharakul and Apilux Huvanandana - won the MAI Bangkok Business Challenge 2011, and the Stu Clark Investment Competition at the Asper School of Business at the University of Manitoba in Winnipeg, Canada. The win included C$20,000 and a trip to New York. The team is launching its flagship product, trademarked Jasberry, a new variety of high-antioxidant rice that crossbred from Thai Jasmine rice and Thai Black rice.
