The formal programme concluded with the vote of thanks by Ms. Shreya Nair and the CHRIST University Anthem, followed by lunch and networking.

Strengthening Alumni Engagement for the Future

The inauguration of the Mumbai Chapter represents an important step towards developing a connected and collaborative alumni ecosystem. Through professional networking, mentoring, knowledge sharing, industry interaction and alumni-led initiatives, the chapter can contribute to student development and strengthen institutional–industry relationships.

The Office of Alumni Engagement remains committed to nurturing lifelong connections and creating opportunities for alumni to contribute meaningfully to the university's growth. By bringing graduates together across regions and professional domains, the Mumbai Chapter seeks to transform shared memories into purposeful engagement and collective progress.

The event reaffirmed a central message: the relationship between CHRIST University and its alumni extends far beyond graduation; it is a lifelong partnership built on shared values, mutual support and a commitment to making a difference.
