Gulzar Saab to Enthrall SPJIMR Alumni at Annual Alumni Meet, Spandan 2006
On December 16, 2006

Spandan, the Annual Alumni Meet of SPJIMR will be held on December 16, 2006, and is the beat that sets the 'pulse' racing for the SPJIMR alumni from all over the world. Spandan is an annual event held for the SPJIMR alumni, on the second Saturday of December.

In keeping with the tradition, Spandan entails a special felicitation ceremony for the 20-year batch along with the 5-, 10- and 15-year old batches of 1986, 1991, 1996 and 2001. With the purpose of building long-lasting and fruitful relationships of the institute with the alumni from these batches, this event aims to makes the alumni feel special and honored by generating enthusiasm and greater participation from them.

The versatile legend Mr. Gulzar, who is an enigmatic poet and famous film personality, will be the Chief Guest for the evening to make this Spandan a special memory. This year around 120 alumni are expected to attend the event. Speaking about SPJIMR, Gulzar Saab, the present day Ghalib, says, "S P Jain reinforces the values that I learnt growing up. It taught me that in business the same rules apply as they do in personal life. Business is about people and one can never go wrong with being honest even at the cost of losing business, respecting individuals and doing what's right for the customers."

The chief idea behind this event is not only to provide opportunities for networking and socializing amongst the select club of the SPJIMR family but also to celebrate their innumerable achievements. These alumni are the true ambassadors of the S. P. Jain Institute of Management & Research. They are the epitome of the philosophy, beliefs and values that SPJIMR stands for, and their success has done the institute proud.

From the 'Batch of Origin' that passed out from the Institute in 1983, to twenty batches down the line in 2002, SPAN (SP Alumni Network) has reached a cumulative membership of almost 1800 today. They have seen much success and carved a niche for themselves in the highly competitive and dynamic corporate arena, in the leading companies across the world or creating their own success stories as flourishing entrepreneurs.

Concluded.
