To bring together its alumni across the world and create a forum where they can find business solutions, the Indian Institute of Management-Lucknow (IIM-L) Alumni Committee is set to begin a global teleconference network. Named the “IIM Lucknow Dialogue”, the first interaction of this forum will be held on September 27.In order to connect to the forum, each alumnus will be provided with a toll free number once they register online. At present, over 3,000 IIM-L alumni are working in different fields across the world.For the first talk, the alumni committee has already received 90 registrations from 15 countries. “We were expecting around 50 registrations the first time. But the response has been tremendous,” said Ashkar Pandey, a coordinator of the committee. In view of the response, alumni of other IIMs have also been invited to join the forum. Till date, one alumnus from IIM-Calcutta and another from IIM-Ahmdabad have registered for the forum. Nitin Das, a filmmaker based in Mumbai, will deliver the first speech on “MBAs and Movies — the Bollywood experience”.
