In a world that often measures success by job titles and financial growth, Mr. Ravisut “Babe” Udomrungrueng, a Business Economics alumnus (Class of 2018) and a successful entrepreneur, is redefining what it means to build a meaningful life. As the Managing Director of his family business and a co-founder of a thriving mobile game company, his schedule is demanding. Yet, it is his unwavering commitment to volunteerism that truly illuminates his vision for a better world—one built on shared growth and democratized opportunity.
For Ravisut, the drive to serve is deeply personal. He is a key architect behind mPACT, Mahidol University International College’s (MUIC) mentorship program, where he helps design and oversee its entire structure. His motivation wasn’t born from obligation, but from a desire to build something he wished he had as a student. “I realized that I have the necessary guidance to make it happen and give others the chance I did not have,” he explains. This single thought sparked a movement, bringing together like-minded peers to create a support system where students can find direction and grow with confidence.
This passion extends beyond a single organization. Ravisut believes that making an impact doesn’t require a complete separation from one’s professional life. He champions the idea of integrating service into your strengths, a philosophy he put into practice by organizing a charity esports tournament to raise funds for local causes. “I believe that impact can take many forms,” he notes, “and sometimes the best way to give back is by using what you already do best.” This practical approach makes volunteerism accessible, encouraging students to see their unique skills not just as career assets, but as powerful tools for change.
At the heart of his work is a profound philosophy on what it truly means to volunteer. He doesn’t see it as a one-way transaction of giving, but as a powerful cycle of mutual development. “I see volunteering as a form of shared growth,” Ravisut shares. “When you give your time and effort sincerely, you gain perspective and empathy in return.” He emphasizes that real change is often quiet and steady, born not from singular, grand gestures but from a genuine and consistent commitment to others. It’s a chance, he says, to practice servant leadership—to set ego aside and work for the common good.
Ultimately, Ravisut’s journey offers a compelling call to action. He reminds us that true leadership isn’t about being in charge, but about taking charge of our collective future. It’s about looking at the world around us and asking a simple, powerful question: How can I leave this a little better than I found it? As he profoundly states, “I believe it is up to each of us to help shape the kind of society and world we want to live in.” Perhaps the most valuable investment we can ever make is not in our careers, but in each other.
