About Us
IITAAK (Pan IIT Chapter of Korea) is a dynamic group of IIT graduates (IITian) living and working in the Republic of Korea. Our purpose is to bring together IITians in Korea by providing them a platform for exchange of ideas and by arranging a series of interesting events of various flavors.
For the members, we provide exclusive access to our collective knowledge pool and to our growing network – both professional and social, enriched by valuable inputs from eminent personalities. For IITians planning to come to Korea, we provide guidance to help them make informed decision in choosing Korea as their next professional destination. Korea is a fascinating country, with an advanced technology sector and a growing Indian expat community. We also help provide a soft landing for incoming IITians by overcoming the challenges of settling in a new country and making the most of their stay here.
IITians have left their mark throughout the globe. We want to replicate that here and strengthen the reputation of brand IIT through interaction with local community, business, academia and media. We hope that this will not only make our lives here more meaningful but will also help in forging more productive cooperation between Korea and India, at all levels.
