The One Jaipuria Alumni Leadership Round Table at Hotel Royal Orchid in Bengaluru brought together alumni leaders and institutional representatives for a structured dialogue on industry-led learning projects, internship and placement support, alumni development, institution building, and ways to create enduring value for the alumni community. The event followed the approved minute-to-minute programme, moving from the welcome address and alumni tracer study to two focused discussion sessions and closing remarks.

1.Opening and Welcome Remarks

Dr. Dheeraj Mishra opened the proceedings and welcomed the alumni leaders and participants. The opening set the tone for a collaborative, forward-looking discussion, recognising alumni as long-term partners in the development of students and the institution. The round table was positioned as a practical forum where professional experience, live business challenges and suggestions from industry could inform Jaipuria’s academic and career-development initiatives.

2.    Alumni Tracer Study

Mr. Vikrant Agarwal presented the Alumni Tracer Study, which generated keen interest and enthusiastic engagement among the alumni leaders. The participants listened with great attention and excitement as they explored the professional journeys of Jaipuria alumni, reflecting on their career progression, achievements, industry transitions, and evolving association with their alma mater since graduation. The session sparked a sense of pride, nostalgia, and renewed connection with Jaipuria, as alumni witnessed how far their fellow graduates had progressed in their professional lives. The enthusiastic response of the alumni leaders reinforced the value of the Alumni Tracer Study as a meaningful step towards building a stronger, more connected, and future-ready One Jaipuria Alumni Network.

3. Session I - Alumni Problem Statements & Learning Projects

Facilitated by Dr. Poonam Sharma, the first session focused on industry-led learning projects, alumni problem statements, live business cases, alumni–academic collaboration and the possible participation of alumni in project evaluation. Alumni were invited to consider sharing real organisational challenges that student teams could explore under faculty guidance.

The proposed approach creates a bridge between classroom learning and workplace realities. By working on authentic business problems, students can practise structured problem-solving, research, analysis, teamwork and presentation of recommendations. Alumni can contribute context and professional perspective, while faculty members provide academic direction and help ensure that projects remain appropriately scoped and rigorous.

4. Session II — Placement Support, Institution Building and Alumni Value

Facilitated by Dr. Pooja Kushwaha, the second session explored how alumni can contribute to internship and placement support, mentoring, career development, alumni engagement, industry connect and the broader growth of Jaipuria. Participants shared perspectives from their professional experience and discussed ways in which the relationship between the institute and its alumni can remain mutually valuable over time.

5. Vote of Thanks and Distribution of Goodies

The programme concluded with key takeaways, a vote of thanks and a group photograph, as scheduled. The institute expressed appreciation to the alumni leaders for their time, professional insights and willingness to contribute to students’ learning and Jaipuria’s continued development. The closing acknowledged the value of alumni partnership in building a stronger connection between campus and industry.

As part of the closing interactions, goodies/tokens of appreciation were distributed to alumni participants as a gesture of gratitude for their participation and continued association with Jaipuria.

7. Conclusion

The One Jaipuria Alumni Leadership Round Table provided a focused platform for connecting alumni experience with student development and institutional priorities. The conversations around alumni tracer data, industry-led learning projects, internships and placements, institutional development and lifelong alumni value reaffirmed the potential of an engaged alumni community to support Jaipuria’s future. The next step is to translate the ideas and problem statements into documented actions and sustained alumni–academic collaboration.
