The four years I spent at IIT Madras were transformational for me personally. The strong bonds we built with students and faculty on/off classrooms and the performance / meritocratic culture that we were exposed to have stayed with me for years. After I moved back to Chennai a few years back, I welcome every opportunity to visit the campus and soak in the atmosphere. It’s a privilege to have an opportunity to give back and get involved with its evolution with times.
