Some founders graduate from Generation Next and quietly continue building.

Saranchana Atipanya stepped onto a bigger stage.

Since completing the accelerator in Melbourne, Saranchana has emerged as a regional voice for sustainable innovation, youth leadership, and purpose driven entrepreneurship. Her updates show a founder who is not only growing her company, Earthbound Co., but also shaping conversations across Asia about climate action, gender equity, and the future of work.

This is her life after Gen Next.

A founder stepping into global leadership

Saranchana’s path since the program has been marked by international recognition and invitations to speak on some of the most important stages for young innovators. Her work has been amplified across China, Thailand, and the Asia Pacific, positioning her as a powerful advocate for sustainability and women in business.

She has been actively contributing to dialogues around social innovation, entrepreneurship, and climate resilience, building on the confidence and clarity she gained from Generation Next.

Sharing Thai innovation with the world

One of Saranchana’s standout milestones was being invited by the Shanghai Government and the China Association for Science and Technology to present at the World Young Scientist Summit. She shared insights from her journey with Earthbound Co. and highlighted how Thai founders are driving sustainability forward.

Her message landed strongly. It showcased the role of young entrepreneurs in shaping new markets and creating solutions that serve both business and the planet.

Representing Southeast Asia at the World Youth Development Forum

Saranchana was later invited to speak at the World Youth Development Forum, where she joined voices from across the Asia Pacific. She discussed entrepreneurship, resilience, and the realities of building a social impact business across cultures.

Her reflections emphasised adaptability, mindset, and the discipline required to grow a mission driven company. She also voiced strong encouragement for governments and ecosystems to increase support for young founders who are tackling climate challenges.

Contributing to cross border dialogue and publications

Saranchana’s expertise has also been featured in articles and discussions across China, where she shared the story of Earthbound Co., unpacked Thailand’s sustainability landscape, and explored how youth innovation can support national development goals.

Her presence in these conversations builds stronger bridges between Thailand and China and helps create new opportunities for expanding her own business.

Showing up for the Asia Pacific entrepreneurial community

From APEC youth forums to regional innovation roundtables, Saranchana continues to engage with communities that shape the future of entrepreneurship.

She shares learnings from her own experience, including:

• The importance of building values driven teams
  
  
• The power of shared learning between countries
  
  
• The need for more youth focused investment
  
  
• The role of women founders in leading climate solutions
  
  

Her contributions reflect the spirit of the Generation Next program. Lift others. Learn constantly. Build with purpose.

Growing Earthbound Co. with global momentum

Alongside her speaking roles, Saranchana has continued to scale Earthbound Co., her eco focused venture. The company recently secured PETA approval, a key milestone that validates the brand’s commitment to ethical and sustainable products.

This recognition strengthens Earthbound Co.’s position in the market and opens doors for regional expansion.

What Saranchana Is Building Next

Saranchana is stepping forward with clear purpose. She is preparing to expand Earthbound Co.’s product reach, deepen her involvement with Asia Pacific innovation networks, and create more opportunities for young people to learn about sustainability and social impact.

Her Next chapter blends entrepreneurship and advocacy, bringing together the strengths she sharpened in Melbourne and the platform she continues to build across Asia.
