IIT Bombay and IITBHF, Boston Chapter, host Interactive Session

IIT Bombay held an alumni interactive session in Boston, USA, in collaboration with the IIT Bombay Heritage Foundation, Boston Chapter, on May 19, 2022. A significant number of alumni members between 1966 and 2021 attended the session.

Prof. Subhasis Chaudhuri, Director, IIT Bombay, addressed the session and reiterated the Institute’s commitment to alleviating critical global challenges such as healthcare and climate change. The many interactions during the session generated several new ideas and identified opportunities to strengthen alumni’s participation in the growth of the Institute.
