Our Impact video series brings leaders and trailblazers of our community. We talk about diverse topics. Let’s envision the future of the global economy, food, health, and sustainability. How technology can create a better world for all?  

Mr. Bill Gates kicked off our first leadership conference in 2003. He challenged us to build a better world. Each IITian considers it a privilege to be one. We believe that we are the builders of the future and custodians of the coming generations. Our global community is ready to take on new challenges and take charge of humanity’s future. IITians are pioneers, risk-takers, and trailblazers of society, strong million-plus community members. Our alumni constantly seek new challenges and problems that can’t be solved, even moon shots. We are seeking thinkers, who can define a new ecosystem that can combat current and future challenges. We have to foster purpose-driven research and innovation.
