Core Committees

The XIM Alumni Committee is a core committee within XIMB, dedicated to fostering and maintaining strong bonds with our esteemed alumni. As an institution that prides itself on a robust legacy of academic excellence and leadership, we recognize the invaluable contributions of our alumni community, which exceeds 8,000 distinguished members across the globe.

Our alumni are not only ambassadors of our rich educational heritage but also trailblazers in the corporate world, holding top-tier positions in various sectors. They exemplify the rigorous training and ethical grounding received at XIMB, continuing to elevate the institution’s prestige on the world stage.

The XIM Alumni Committee is committed to engaging these accomplished graduates through meticulously organized events and initiatives that ensure ongoing interaction and collaboration. Shortly after the academic year begins, we hold Alumni Connect, an event that initiates the alumni interaction for the forthcoming batch, where notable alumni from each domain address the batch, setting a motivational precedent for the year.

Following this, we host Disha, an event conducted before the summer placements start for the first year. This student-alumni domain-specific interaction facilitates a dynamic exchange of ideas with the current MBA cohort, bridging the gap between academic theories and real-world applications, and offering students firsthand insights into the complexities of the business world.

These events serve as platforms for alumni to impart their knowledge and experiences. The timeline continues with X-Alma, a mentorship program where each student is mentored by a notable alumnus in their respective domain of interest. This program exemplifies our commitment to tailored professional development.

Our efforts also culminate annually in the Grand Homecoming, an event where the batch celebrating their silver-jubilee anniversary of graduation is invited back to the campus. This festive reunion fosters a spirit of community and continuity, reminding our alumni of their perpetual connection to XIMB.

By nurturing this continuous connection, the XIM Alumni Committee not only upholds the legacy of XIMB but also enhances the educational impact and network opportunities for both current and former students. As we move forward, the XIM Alumni Committee remains dedicated to expanding our outreach and enriching the alumni experience, ensuring that the bonds formed during their educational journey at XIMB continue to flourish and inspire generations to come.
