Calling all IIT Alumni from
Hello All,
Calling all Indian Institute of Technology almunus working in Qatar. Lets get together to start a Qatar chapter.
The idea of this chapter in addition to connecting IIT’s alumni would be –
- To help new joiners in settling down, understanding the cost of living, work culture etc before reaching GCC
- To help find/ post jobs, career advice.
- To increase the overall awareness about the opportunities ( job, business etc) in Middle East
- To leverage the network to start/ extend business
- To increase the visibility of IIT and create awareness about courses offered, entrance exams etc among Indians/ Other interested nationals.
Those interested please provide the following details -
Name -
Institute-
Year of passing -
Please PM me the email ids and contact details and I will create a google or a yahoo group for easy communication.
Regards,

There were around seven or eight guys I know from IIMs whom I met four years back (from Mannai, Air India, E&Y, BNP Paribas, Qatar Navigation, British Tobbacco)... unfortunately... I heard all of them have left the country except for maybe one...
But I will use some references I heard of new people who have arrived...
Most of the guys last time round were from E&Y and BNP Paribas and I think they've hired a few more but not sure
The last time, there was an article put in the papers calling out for IIM passouts, that's how we managed to get people together apart from word of mouth... I would think that is the best way to reach out more...
I agree that setting up a IIT campus in Qatar will go a long way, not only in terms of benefiting the brand IIT but will establish India's reputation of world class education provider.
Considering the current small size of the country and possible alumni base, I think an IIT/ IIM forum will be better idea.
Please get in touch with IIM alum you know and lets create a group asap. I think we can have monthly or at least quarterly meetings !
Best Regards,
Nitin Jain
you'll be flooded with Alumni, many of them non-Indian with the IIT international campus being set up in Qatar...

that would help build critical mass easier
The pan-IIM Alumni in Qatar had a get together four years back and we had around 10 people although many of them have left since then... but I am sure new people have come here in the meanwhile as well
Hello all,
I came across paniitmideast group. I hope some of you are already part of it. Does it have a Qatar chapter as well ?

Hello The birdie,
Yes, this invitation is for members from all IITs. I also know 4-5 seniors and super seniors from different IITs. Anybody who has ever been affiliated with IITs ( UG, PG, research schloars, MBAs, certificate courses etc)is most welcome to join the group. As more members join in we can create a more formal organization which will be a part of PAN IIT committe. So birdie can you please get in touch with people you already know and may be from them you can find out about few more iitians. Once we have the details of 15-20 members to begin with, we can have an informal get together in the coming weeks. Please email me the details of the persons you know and we can quickly form a group and initiate some activity.
Hello shaf17ster - thank you for your comment. Right now we are primarily intending for a group for all IITians. I am sure there will be groups of other universities as well. All the groups are primarily about sharing something common, so here iit is the common link. I hope you appreciate my point.
Best Regards,
