Abhyudaya |

And so, a Star was born. 15 years ago, Abhyudaya, a tiny cluster started with a handful of Sitaras. Today it has grown into a constellation beautifying the universe with its luminous presence: 353 alumni Sitaras, 523 active Sitaras and 3533 Mentors.
To reunite them under one sky, the Abhyudaya office, organized a special program at the SPJIMR Alumni Meet 2023. The program was attended by 120 Alumni Sitaras (from Batches 1-7) including former mentors who reconnected with their Sitara mentees.
Sitara Priyanka Choraghe and her mentor Antariksha Banerjee sang a duet. The strong bond between the two was apparent as Antariksha encouraged Priyanka to sing a solo,
Both Stars shone bright. |
