While BTech or MTech graduates bagging campus placements in private universities is no more a news these days, what differentiates LNMIIT is its sheer success in grooming leaders who have went on to call the shots in numerous domains. While many private and public universities in the country pay lip service to next generation values like creating not job-seekers, but job-creators, LNMIIT is one institution that has created more startup entrepreneurs than most other institutions in the private sector.
Noted startup founders and co-founders who are LNMIIT alumni include Vishal Jhalani and Ankit Singhavi (The ELITE Express), Vidit Paliwal (Bigstep Technologies), Manu Yadav (Eunike Software), Saurabh Gupta (Nutrino IT Technologies), Utkarsh Jain (CodescapeCunsultant), and Sanket Modi (Lucideous). And don’t ever think that this is a static list. Every quarter or year, another LNMIIT alumnus is likely to be added to this list, as the university is a topper when it comes to new student startups currently looking for investors in Rajasthan, and even in the whole of India.
Although their Alumni boasts of trendsetters in the digital space, there are notable examples leaving their footprint in social work and charity. An alumni from LNMIIT Anant Trivedi, along with Mahendra Bhakar, cycled 2500 km to raise funds for disabled kids. Software engineers by profession Bhakar and Trivedi have raised Rs 57,000 by cycling 2,500 km from Bengaluru to Kota for eight days to raise funds on the crowdsourcing platform, Milaap.
