Dear Alumni,

Aamchi Mumbai saw the Mumbai Chapter meet being organised in person after 2 long years!

Dr. Deepankar Sinha from IIFT was present at the event. The evening began with an introductory note by our Chapter Head, Mr Rajiv Gatne. This was followed by a presentation on the recent activities of the Division of Alumni Affairs, and then the networking began!

The event was full of reminiscence, laughter, and lots of fun! We are grateful to Mr Rajiv Gatne and Mr Brian D’Souza for their crucial role in making the event a success

Warm regards,
