On September 29th, the IIM Lucknow alumni community came together for Samvaad 2024 held at IIM Lucknow-Noida Campus. The event was filled with insightful discussions and a spirit of innovation. The day began with a ceremonial lamp-lighting, graced by Prof. Ajay Singh, Dean of IIM Lucknow Noida Campus, Mr. Avnish Anand, Co-founder of Caret Lane, Prof. Yash Daultani, Chairperson of Alumni Affairs, and other esteemed dignitaries.
