THE COMMUNITY
IITs, IIMs, ISB, IISc, Doctors, CAs & More
Alumni and faculty from every IIT, alongside alumni of the IIMs, IISc, XLRI, ISB, BITS, Anna University (including its School of Architecture), AC College of Technology, the NITs, and other institutions of equal standing in India and overseas. IIT Directors sit on the Center ex-officio; Deans are members. Medical doctors and chartered accountants are the newest additions.
Over 650 members are already active — many of them industry leaders, bureaucrats, technocrats, policymakers and influencers in their own right, most senior in their fields. Claim your seat at the table.
THE EXPERIENCE
Conversations, Ideas, Challenges.
Here’s what that looks like, at a glance:
- Be among 650+ senior professionals, technocrats, policymakers and industry leaders.
- Interaction – conversations, discussions, lectures – with some of the brightest minds out there.
- For IITians, a living connection back to your alma mater, not a nostalgia trip, an ongoing one.
- The chance to mentor, teach and give back on your own terms.
- A calendar of curated gatherings, from quiz nights to wine and cheese evenings.
In practice: talks by people of eminence, art, music and book clubs, bridge tournaments, quiz nights, wine and cheese evenings — a calendar built to give members a reason to walk in on an ordinary Tuesday, not just show up for the AGM.
