Our Story
It's been over 20+ years since we walked out of the BITS Pilani campus bright-eyed, full of hope, and ready to take on the world. What we may not have realized then was how deeply Pilani and the friendships we forged there would shape our journeys and mold us into who we are today.
"For many of us, BITS wasn't just an institute; it was where our confidence, the way we think, our friendships, and our lifelong trajectories were formed."
We've come back twice since then for two truly memorable reunions at Pilani, celebrating 25+ years of friendship, shared stories, and that unmistakable BITS bond. And now is the time to pause, reflect, and give back to the institution and the BITS family that we are so proud to call our own.
The funds we raise will help BITS Pilani continue to provide world-class academic opportunities and strengthen its infrastructure for the next generation of students.
To this end, we've created the "BITS1.996CR" fund with a batch-worthy target: ₹1.996 Crore (~USD 225,000) as the Batch of '96 Class Gift. These funds will support initiatives aligned with the most pressing needs of BITS Pilani. To ensure transparency and collective ownership, we propose that the Batch of '96 vote by the end of January 2026, to prioritize 1–2 projects/initiatives to be funded.
Many of you pledged your support during the reunions. Now it's time to convert intent into action. And if you were on the fence, now is the time to step up.
No amount is small. What matters is that we participate, and that we do it NOW.
