XLers Unlimited

Our very own enthu Kuruvilla Kurian and wife Tara were blessed with a baby girl on 26th September in the evening ! Join us in congratulating the lucky couple and their son Jordan on this new addition to their family.

hey folks, in the latest Business Today ranking of the top B Schools
in India our Alumni President, Bijou Kurien (COO of Titan) has been
quoted extensively (along with the likes of Muthuraman of Tata Steel).
Go get your copy !

There's even a special writeup on XL titled "the X factor" focussing
on the life and social factors that go into making an XLer. XL is back
to the number 4 slot pushing IIM-L back to number 5!

By the way, this year we beat the IIMC Joka's with a margin of 12-8 at
the XL IIMC sports meet!

Ravi C Dasgupta's (IR - '88) wife Tasneem is having her first exhibition
cum sale of designer clothing ( women's wear ). It started from
yesterday and ends tomorrow . Venue is the first floor of Safina Plaza (
shop no 42 ) . Its on the side closest to the road and you will see the
green banner of Sara Creations ( her label ) as you reach the first
floor.

Its open between 10 am and 9 pm on both days. Some of his friends would
like to know. And perhaps some ladies might like to go ??

Another movement within Bangalore.



Ranu Gupta (IR 96) who was Director HR of Metlife India has moved.

Grax has it that Ranu is in Bangalore with a IT services firm. News will be updated when confirmed.

If anyone has any idea who is taking over from him at Metlife then do let us know.

Rohit Punnoose (2002 BMD) working with Infy got married last month on 26th at God's own country. His reception is today, 9th Sept, in Delhi (Gol Dakkhana) . I wish I could put up attachments on this site. He sent out an absolutely refreshing wedding invite !

Google has recently launched Google's University Search. It enables people to narrow your search to a specific school website. Try it for things like admissions information, course schedules or alumni news.



Most of the IIT's, IIM's etc are already listed over there. Google is encouraging universities to nominate them to be added to Google's list of University Searches. But they need a critical number of requests before they do so.



Request you all to follow the following link and fill up a small form in establishing the XL brand.http://www.google.com/options/mycampus.html

Put in the University name XLRI, Jamshedpur and the University URL as http://www.xlri.ac.in

The rest is pretty much obvious.

Ok, I thought this would be a better place to post these details. Some recent movements



Murali Swaminathan (86 PMIR) has moved to Bangalore to head HR for 24/7 Customer. He was earlier at SPIC. The news item is here.

Ramya Sampath Sharma (97 PMIR) has moved to Intel. She was earlier doing freelance HR consulting work.

Diptakirti Chaudhuri (99 BMD) after an innings with Pepsi in Bangalore is moving to Marico in Hyderabad. However, he'll keep frequently dropping into Bangalore.

The XL Alumni Blog focusses on the media attention that Bangalore alumni Gautam Sinha (writing about entreprenuership), Rekha and Vijayan Menon (on the Bangalore Wine Club's founders) were garnering, and also what Gautam Reddy and Mustafa Moochala were upto !
