Due to COVID-related restrictions, just a few persons attended the event on campus.
As part of their 10th-year reunion celebrations, the PGP Class of 2009 donated INR 52 lakhs to IIMB. A part of the contribution was used to fund an ambulance for use by the IIMB community. In these challenging times, this heart-warming gesture has won much appreciation. The balance amount is being earmarked for appropriate naming rights on the campus. In an email message, the PGP Class of 2009, said they felt privileged to fund an ambulance that can be useful, especially now. “We hope this will motivate other batches to give back in different ways,” they wrote in an email.
