Dear Alumni,

Developing an active and engaged alumni network empowers both the Institute and its graduates. Whether our alumni are interacting with the Institute or its student body, attending events, working with the Institute on various Legacy projects, or serving as volunteers, their contributions make a tremendous difference to RIM. The Institute will continue its support to RIM Alumni Association by providing social, educational, and professional opportunities that appeal to our broad constituency.

In interacting with many of you, I have felt your affection for your alma mater. Several of you have are already recruiters of the next generation of management students and to encourage and mentor students currently in our program. And we are endeavoring to make the Ramaiah Institute of Management the best. As our alumni, you are a great resource for the Institute. If you have not visited campus lately, I invite you to come by and let us show you some of our newest developments. We have added many new edifices to the institute, 2 years AICTE approved PGDM (IEV) program, Post Graduate Program in Management for working professions, Financial Analytics in collaboration with NSE, Post Graduate Program in Sports Management. An International office has been established to provide global exposure to our students. The institute has signed an MOU with ESC Clermont Business school, France. The Ramaiah Japan Centre works towards establishing collaborations with Japanese Universities and Japanese companies. It also provides exposure to the Japanese culture and Language. The faculty offers several certificate programs in all verticals. I am sure as alumni you have a bigger role to play and work with the alma mater in various capacities as advisors, resource persons, councilors, and so on.

We hope to further nurture the warmth and nostalgia by engaging with all of you in a more vibrant manner through Alumni Meets, Reunions, Talks and Guest lectures, and many more areas of meaningful engagement in the days to come.

Do come and join us to make things better for the newer generations!
