Ensuring that you stay ahead
Presenting, the July 2008 issue of your newsletter IBSAF WORLD; Your continued participation, support and enthusiasm tells us that we are on the right track. There are a few more feathers in our cap this time. The IBSAF Career Services team proudly boasts of the successful placement of Tarun (06) in HSBC and all of us had a blast in the launch of the IBSAF Lounge at Delhi. Yes our first lounge is in place and was inaugurated on the 1st of June. Your response keeps us on our toes and inspires us to do better.
And talking about inspiration, the events on 6th June and 21st June at India’s financial capital, Mumbai, and the city of pearls, Hyderabad, did just that to boost our morale. We are really happy to see all of you with no bars on batch or campus attending and enjoying the events, and making them into a huge success. Your presence tells us in no uncertain terms that we are taking the right direction in making IBSAF the best alumni network ever. This belief was further cemented in the SIP celebrations evening in Hyderabad on May 17. We heartily thank the alumni members for their participation and contribution towards the successful completion of SIPs.
