INSEAD Alumni Association India

About

About

The national alumni association of INSEAD in India.

INSEAD Alumni Association India is a not-for-profit (Section 8) company and the national alumni association of INSEAD in India, working alongside INSEAD and the INSEAD Alumni Association (IAA).

INSEAD — “The Business School for the World” — educates leaders across its campuses in Fontainebleau, Singapore, Abu Dhabi and San Francisco. Its alumni span more than 183 countries, and India is one of the school’s largest and most active communities in Asia.

We connect that community at home: through city chapters from Delhi-NCR to Bangalore, year-round events, interest-based clubs, and a membership that follows you wherever your career takes you.

We are run by alumni, for alumni, on a volunteer basis. For the alumni directory, mentoring and networking we link out to INSEAD’s own platforms — MyINSEAD and iLink — rather than rebuild them.

Our relationship with INSEAD
