17 years is a long time. It’s enough time to build careers, start families, face failures, celebrate wins, and evolve into versions of ourselves we could never have imagined back in our university days. Yet, for six engineering alumni, those years disappeared the moment they met again—like pieces of a puzzle falling into place.What began as a casual reunion turned into a powerful exchange of wisdom, inspiration, and professional insight. We met in the same spirit that fueled late-night study sessions and coffee-fueled brainstorming marathons—this time not in a classroom, but around a table filled with stories, laughter, and reflection.From Classmates to Industry LeadersEach of the six brought a unique journey to the table.One had taken the entrepreneurial leap, building a startup from scratch.Another had scaled the corporate ladder in a multinational tech firm.One had shifted gears completely, moving into academia to shape the engineers of tomorrow.Another found his calling in the sustainability and tech world.One had worked across cities, managing engineering teams spread across continents.And the last had bridged engineering and spirituality, bringing technical insight into the design of mindful technologies and human-centered systems that promote inner well-being and conscious living.Despite their different paths, one thing united them all: the foundational years they spent together and the engineering mindset that continues to shape their lives.

In a remarkable effort to bridge academics with industry exposure, alumni of R. C. Patel Institute of Technology (RCPIT) currently employed at Zensar Technologies, Pune, hosted a memorable visit for students and faculty from the college. The visit took place on [insert date, e.g., July 5, 2025], and was part of the ongoing alumni engagement initiatives by the institute.The session included:A company tour showcasing Zensar's innovation labs and development centersA panel discussion featuring RCPIT alumni who shared their journey from campus to corporate lifeInteractive Q&A on topics like career growth, technology stacks in use, and soft skills for successThe alumni emphasized the importance of continuous learning, adaptability, and building strong professional networks.The visit not only gave students a peek into real-world work culture but also strengthened the alumni-student relationship — reinforcing the vibrant and growing RCPIT alumni community.We extend our sincere gratitude to our proud alumni at Zensar for making this initiative possible.
