Had an interesting meet at the Ashoka in Delhi last evening. We invited the senior alums in Human Resource management to talk about our initiatives like the DBA program with Grenoble.
It went well, and was organised by student alumni committee. A few good men and women from batches as far back as the late 1980s tuned up. There was a good debate on a new mentoring system with alums mentoring current students. It is difficult to do that with busy schedules, commutes, and the like. But we have started it as an experiment at IMT, and we will see how it goes.
There are plans to do a lot of alumni meets across the country in the months to come, and there is a realisation that alumni play an important role in building and sustaining a B school brand.
