The Alumni Association, in collaboration with the Technology Business Incubator (TBI), organised a session titled “From Ideas to Impact: Building Brands and Creating Legacies” on 20 August 2026, offering students practical insights into entrepreneurship, business management, customer behaviour and professional growth. The session featured Mr. Anubhav Grewal, CEO of Bakefresh, Venoí and Vani Foods, who spoke about his entrepreneurial journey across Australia and India.

Urging students to never give up, he highlighted perseverance and the value of strong relationships with customers and stakeholders.
