"Educational institutions are like rivers, students come and go like water, but the river flows in its own course. SPJIMR is like the Ganga of the educational institutes one passes through life. But once one merges into Ganga, he internalises the purity and divineness of it so much that for the rest of the journey, one flows like the Ganga", said Dr. Sesha Iyer, Director, SPJIMR while speaking at Spandan 2008. Most of the students of SPJIMR carry with them memories which last a lifetime. Spandan 2008 offered a chance for many of SPJIMR's alumni to relive and renew some of these precious memories.

Spandan is the annual Alumni reunion organised by the Alumni committee of SPJIMR. The event was a memorable one, held on a beautiful pleasant autumn evening, it offered the perfect setting for the Alumni of SPJIMR to reunite with their old friends and catch up on the past. This year the event was particularly special for the batches of 1993, 1998 and 2003 who were felicitated during the ceremony.

The event began with an address by Director, Dr. Sesha Iyer and Prof. Sanjoy Sircar, to the returning Alumni, which was followed by a few performances from SPJIMR participants which lit up the evening. The event had something for everyone, including a kids section for the Alumni's family and a sumptuous dinner for all those present.

But ultimately the evening was all about the returning members of the SPJIMR family, who had a great time reliving their good old SPJIMR days. The day after the event all the Alumni would have returned back to the hustle and bustle of the corporate life, where they all hold distinguished positions, but for one day they were once again participants at SPJIMR where they could relive the magical days of their life in a B-School.
