We started HBTI alumni movement yesterday (10th may, 2003) by organizing a Bangalore chapter meet. Recently some recent batches' graduates had gotten in touch with me through my website and finally their efforts, contacts (and my emailing :) resulted in a (first-ever?) Bangalore HBTI alumni meet!! We chose Wimpy's at Brigade road over IIMB as venue cause IIMB would have been too far for some people. I had emailed to some 34 people and 17 people showed up. Not bad! Most of the alumni were from 2000, 2001,2002 batches. The group had a fruitful discussion about how to take the alumni momentum forward and also how to interface with the alma mater and help it. Planning to do it three contact levels: 1) Alumni 2) Current Students 3) Faculty. Lets see how it goes :)
