PANCHAM: FIVE YEARS OF BITSOM, AND A VISION FOR WHAT COMES NEXT
ALUMNI ENGAGEMENT UPDATES
The Alumni Relations Committee (ARC) continued to strengthen the connection between BITSoM and its growing alumni community through a diverse calendar of initiatives in 2025:
FOUNDERS CORNER
I didn’t set out to be a founder. I started in consulting — BCG, then KPMG — and later joined Freyr Solutions, a US-based firm, where I worked with the Head of US Business on the strategy team.
THE PERSPECTIVE
BITSoM faculty and alumni share their thinking on the forces reshaping their industries
FACULTY HIGHLIGHTS
This academic year, BITSoM is delighted to welcome three outstanding scholars to its faculty. With experience at some of the world’s leading institutions, they bring fresh perspectives that will enrich our classrooms and contribute to BITSoM’s growing research ecosystem.
LIFE AFTER BITSoM
We often imagine education as the accumulation of knowledge. My experience at BITSoM was almost the opposite – it was the gradual unlearning of certainty. I walked into campus believing I knew marketing reasonably well, having read literature and practiced it for a few years.
NOTE FROM THE HEAD OF ALUMNI RELATIONS
As we celebrate five remarkable years of BITSoM, I am filled with immense pride and gratitude for the incredible journey we have shared. While five years may seem like a short span in the life of an institution, it represents countless milestones, bold aspirations, and the unwavering commitment of a community determined to create lasting impact.
FROM THE DEAN’S DESK
It gives me great joy to write to you through our alumni newsletter. We now have four batches who have walked out of our gates and into the world, and we have just welcomed our fifth, a cohort of 240 students who join a story that you helped begin.
