XLRI’s highly active alumni network spans the length and breadth of the corporate world, not only in
The Meet also serves as a platform, where XLRI tradition gets debated, recalled, savoured and endlessly enjoyed by batches cutting across the young and the old. (Every XLer, be he from the 1960s or the 2000s, passes through a fixed set of unique traditions and traditional events during every calendar year). The Meet also sets the agenda for the year ahead, albeit through informal one-to-ones, on how these traditions could be spearheaded better in the year ahead and what would lie in store for the future.
