First Ever Alumni Meet of VGSoM, IIT Kharagpur Held at Bangalore

First Ever Alumni Meet of VGSoM, IIT Kharagpur Held at Bangalore

As part of the alumni meet, a small video capturing the moments of VGSoM right from its inception was shown to the 80-people strong alumni who became nostalgic about the past memories and found out time from their busy schedules to be a part of this great evening. An

open house discussion about the role of the alumni in strengthening the brand of VGSoM, enthralled the audience. The fulcrum of the discussion was how and what best we as brand ambassadors of VGSoM can do to enhance the effectiveness of the alumni association, increase the alumni connectivity / affinity and sense of pride, and build a perception of the philanthropic worthiness of VGSoM by creating a ‘giving’ culture.

The felicitation of the two of the senior-most members, in order of the year they graduated in, stood out as a humorous moment coupled with nostalgia and a moment where the tide reversed, current students felicitating the ex-students. To add glamour to the event was the presence of the major sponsors, Canon, Golden Gate, along with the beverage partners, United Breweries and Red Bull. As is the norm in alumni meets, a sumptuous dinner along with some fine drinks in tow followed.

Tweaking the famous movie title, as it aptly defines one of the most cherished days for every VGSoMite, "An Evening at Chinaswamy Stadium", celebrating VGSoM turning fifteen this year, a coup of sorts literally.

Concluded.
