The house was then opened for discussion, debate, and suggestions, followed by a sumptuous meal. It was an excellent platform for engagement, creating vibrancy and energy for the upcoming academic season.

The Alumni Interaction session at Aarohan 2025 emerged as a highlight, reflecting MET AMDC’s strong corporate and industry connections that support holistic student development. Esteemed alumni from diverse sectors shared their professional journeys, offering the incoming batch practical insights and actionable career guidance.

The distinguished panel featured Mr. Abhishek Seth, AVP – Risk and Control Officer at Barclays; Ms. Arti Talreja, Senior Manager – HR at Aditya Birla Real Estate Ltd.; Ms. Alisha Shamim, Deputy Manager at Tribeca Developers; Ms. Safa Rais, Sales Executive at Taj Lands End; and Ms. Shikha Jethwani, Assistant Marketing Manager at Globonic Technology Pvt.

More than a motivational exchange, the session served as a practical roadmap, enabling students to bridge academic concepts with industry realities. It reaffirmed MET AMDC’s commitment to nurturing future-ready leaders through strong alumni engagement, mentoring, and industry partnerships—empowering students to navigate their careers with confidence and purpose.
