Milan 2025 in Bengaluru marks 30 years of IFIM And JAGSoM alumni excellence
Milan 2025 was more than an alumni meet; it was a homecoming that brought together three decades of dreamers, doers, and leaders from JIVAA - the alumni association of IFIM, JAGSoM, Vijaybhoomi University, and IFIM Law School. With alumni from different places and industry partners gathering under one roof to celebrate a historic milestone: 30 years of an institution that has grown into a movement with its talent succeeding across the world.
Three Decades of Alumni Impact
Over the last 30 years, our alumni have carried a little bit of their institutions into every corner of the world. As the institution grew, so did its alumni stories-professionals who transformed organisations from within, entrepreneurs who built companies from scratch, and leaders who guided teams through the turbulence of economic cycles, technological disruption, and shifting global landscapes.
Today, when we look across industries - technology, finance, consumer markets, and the start-up ecosystem, we see a quiet but unmistakable pattern: our alumni are not just participating in change; they are driving it.
Launch of the Coffee Table Book
To mark this event, JIVA launched a Coffee Table Book profiling 30 distinguished alumni CXOs. The book serves as a testament to the success of our alumni and services as a source of inspiration and pride to our countless alumni and current students studying at our institutions
Alumni Awards
To honor these achievers, the evening featured an awards segment recognizing outstanding alumni across leadership, entrepreneurship, innovation, and social impact categories. Awardees were selected by an independent jury of senior industry professionals and felicitated as a celebration of their success.
Message from the Founder, Shri Sanjay Padode
“What began as an idea three decades ago has today become an ecosystem of learning, innovation, and purpose. This milestone reflects the collective effort of our faculty, students, alumni, and partners. As our alumni shine across the world, they reaffirm our commitment to create leaders of influence and integrity.”
Message from Mithun Appaiah - President, JIVAA
“Milan is more than an event - it is homecoming. As we mark 30 years of IFIM & JAGSoM, we celebrate not just an institution, but a family that has grown across continents and industries. Our alumni are our greatest ambassadors, and this milestone belongs to each of them.”
Forward-Looking Engagement
Attendees discussed ways to deepen engagement through mentorship, research collaboration, career guidance for current students, and regional alumni chapters. Many expressed interests in contributing to long-term initiatives that connect industry, academia, and emerging talent.
