IMI Delhi Holds Meet in Bangalore for Alumni Based in Southern India

In its endeavour to build a stronger alumni network and to keep the alumni updated of the latest happenings at International Management Institute, the Alumni Committee of IMI organized a Regional Alumni Meet in Bangalore on the 3rd of June, 2007.

The venue for the meet were the lush green lawns of Hotel Grand Magrath in the central location of Bangalore.

The unique feature of the meet was that it was a gathering of people who represent the past, the present, as well as the future of IMI - apart from the alumni and some current students.

Among the faculty members, Prof. B. K. Srivastava, Prof. Rajat Kathuria, and Prof. Sankaran and Mr. Amrish Sharma, Administrative & Placement Officer, were present to grace the occasion. The alumni were glad to meet their teachers and batchmates after a long time.

The meet began with Prof. B. K. Srivastava emphasizing on the importance of having a strong alumni network for any institution. This was followed by a round of introductions, which began with an alumnus of the 1986 batch, and ended with one who would graduate from IMI in 2009!

When the introductions were over, Prof. Kathuria shared the latest developments at IMI with the alumni. He also suggested that instead of such meets being an annual event, it would be great if the alumni in a city could organize such get-togethers once in a while on their own, and then update the college about them.

After this, Prof. Kathuria invited suggestions from the alumni for improving the brand and visibility of IMI. To this, there was overwhelming response with some alumni passionately asserting that IMI is much more than it is known, and serious efforts need to be made to tell the world about it. The alumni pointed out that it is extremely important to keep the alumni and the media aware of what is happening at the institute. Also, a need was identified to create greater awareness among MBA aspirants.

After a detailed discussion on these issues, Mr. Kaladhar of PGPIM-2006 batch volunteered for organizing some activities for alumni in Bangalore, as per the suggestion of Prof. Kathuria.

All in all, it was a memorable evening, and the event is sure to strengthen the bond that exists between IMI and its alumni.
