Motivation to contribute to IIT Bombay

When I moved to Chicago, I was keen on connecting with the IIT network in the metropolitan area to build my social network since I didn’t know anyone in the area at that time. There were a few people from my batch I knew, but I realized surely there must be more. Over the past few years, I have helped orchestrate a few events – geezing on existing events that might be popular, or organizing low effort happy hours to create a forum for alumni to meet.

The impact has been rewarded in the appreciation of the alumni, some of who have stayed back after work before their long train rides back home, or traveled for more than an hour from suburbs to make it to one of these events. The most memorable so far has been a “failed” happy hour where none of the usual suspects could show up, but for which an alum, who had never been to one of these events before, decided to come – leading to an interesting evening discussing the travails at GE!
