Lunch meeting with his excellency the Ambassador of India to South Korea
24th January, 2015
IIT Alumni Association, South Korea is a small but growing group of IITians living and working in the Republic of Korea. We were officially formed in Jan 2015. Our purpose is to bring together IITians in Korea by providing a platform for exchange of ideas and a series of interesting events of various flavors.
For the members, we provide exclusive access to our collective knowledge pool and 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. 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 your 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.
We had a very auspicious start thanks to the generosity of H.E. Vishnu Prakash, the Ambassador of India to South Korea. Also in attendance was Mr U.S. Rawat, Deputy Chief of Mission, Indian Embassy (an IITian himself!). The photo above officially marked the beginning of the group.
