Kendari, October 26, 2024 – Muhammad Nur Ardi Handayat, a Communication Science student from Universitas Diponegoro (UNDIP), has claimed the first-place title in the Stand-Up Comedy competition at the prestigious 15th Indonesian Student Entrepreneurship (KMI) Expo. This event, held from October 23-25 at Universitas Halu Oleo in Kendari, marks a memorable moment of national achievement for both Ardi and UNDIP.

The KMI Expo is widely recognized as a prestigious gathering that brings together entrepreneurial students from across Indonesia. Alongside competitive product showcases, the event also features entrepreneurial seminars, the KMI Award, business matching opportunities, and additional competitions such as Stand-Up Comedy, Social Media Marketing Contest (SM2C), and Poster Catalogue. Ardi entertained judges and the audience with fresh humor focused on personal experiences and relevant entrepreneurial challenges.

“This victory isn’t just about recognition; it’s a chance to share laughter and inspiration,” said Ardi upon being announced as the winner.

Ardi’s success was further enriched by his team’s achievement with BelajarSini.com, which secured second place in the Digital Business category at KMI Expo XV 2024. This educational platform provides accessible website creation for users with no coding experience, garnering significant praise from the judges.

Ardi’s achievements at KMI Expo XV 2024 have brought pride to UNDIP, which he expressed gratitude towards his peers and mentors who supported him throughout the competition. “I dedicate this achievement to UNDIP and everyone who has supported me along the way,” he said.

It is hoped that Ardi’s success across two distinct categories will inspire other students to continue developing their potential and achieving excellence in national competitions.
