BITSian 2 BITSian – An
more powerful B2B idea
By Sandeep mukherjee (’95 Phy Mech)
and Anuradha Gupta (’86 MMS)
“I’d
love to make
a career change and am looking for the right opportunity but
these darned job boards never seem to help. I’ve heard
networking helps but how do I network?”
“I’d like to go to graduate school after BITS
but can’t afford to do so without a scholarship. Wonder
which schools I should apply to!”
“I think I’d like an MBA from a top tier
school but I’d sure like some advice.”
“Everyone tells me I should stay on top of my
field of expertise but how? I can’t read everything that
comes my way. I simply don’t have the time.”
We’ve all been there. As students and as
alumni we’d all like to know what opportunities are out
there, how we can further our academic credentials, identify
and proactively prepare for industry trends and so on. We’re
also constantly reminded by our peers, organizational
leaders and society in general about the need to develop
ourselves as Leaders.

Getting into Top MBA
Schools: B2B at Work
By Abhinav Gattani (’98 Comp Sci)
 As
they say, all good ideas come with a glass of beer, so
did the
thought of such a group for
BITSians. I'd like to thank
Krishna (Tuck '06), Shobhit (Michigan '06) and Manish
(Michigan '06) for this initiative. The greatest
benefit of this group is to leverage the BITS connection
for maximum benefit during the application process to
business schools around the world.
It starts with the
bits2bschool yahoogroup. The aim of this online
community is to keep an excellent roster of advice for
BITSians applying to top schools. Succeed in the
academic, professional and social sectors by working
with mentors and peers who help and guide you.

Olab: Of Sand, Silicon and Oysters
By Sandhya Krishnan (’99 Info
Systems)
 It
was 2002
– and the 1977 batch alumni were gearing up for their
silver reunion. Amidst all the hectic planning and
excitement, a few members thought it would be a nice
idea to give back something to the college they owed so
much to. Ideas floated around, and the one that stuck
was that of a world-class VLSI Laboratory. A year later,
July 2003, at the music night in Bangalore -
BITSConnexion, in the melee of songs and handshakes,
this idea took shape and form. Few more months later,
with the efforts of some well-placed alumni in the VLSI
industry in Bangalore, a presentation was given to
current Vice Chancellor of BITS, Dr S. Venkateshwaran.
OLAB was to be a world-class laboratory in terms of
infrastructure, facilities and talent.
