Narayana Business School marks 25 years of excellence with its first ever grand alumni meet

Narayana Business School celebrating its 25th year of academic excellence recently hosted its first ever grand alumni meet at the NBS campus. The event brought together alumni, faculty members, and staff who have been part of NBS’s journey since its early years, reflecting the institution’s strong legacy and enduring community.

The celebrations were held under the leadership of Founder Director Dr. Amit Gupta, Director Dr. S. C. Gupta, Dean Academics Dr. Purvi Gupta, and Vice President – Growth & Strategy Mr. Vishal Tiwari. The event was seamlessly coordinated by Dr. Noopur Surti, Ms. Pooja Purohit, and Dr. Smruti Vakil, ensuring a memorable experience for all participants.

The Academic Excellence Award was conferred upon Dr. Imroz Mansuri in recognition of his contribution to teaching and academic development. The Rising Star Alumni Award was presented to Mr. Vishal Tiwari, acknowledging his professional growth and continued association with NBS.

Distinguished Alumni Awards were presented across multiple categories, celebrating alumni achievements in diverse fields:

• Excellence in Entrepreneurship: Mr. Jay Trivedi
• Corporate Leadership: Mr. Ashish Choudhary
• Young Achiever – Excellence in Family Business: Mr. Yash Shah
• Startup Excellence: Mr. Guneet Soni
• Art, Culture & Heritage Impact: Mr. Prakhar Pratik

There are many from the NBS team who are contributing to this institution since the beginning and are present with us, and this is indeed a moment of pride for us. That NBS does not treat it members as mere employees but rather a family and focus on nurturing long standing relationships.

We called this award category as “The Service Milestone Awards”

The service milestone awardees included Dr. Pragya Sharma, Ms. Avni Joshi, Ms. Vidhi Patel, Ms. Sowjanya Appalla, and Mr. Jagat Kumar Pasi (Narsinh), recognising their long-
standing contribution to academic excellence and institutional growth.

The formal proceedings were followed by a vibrant student-organised carnival, where the campus came alive with interactive stalls, games, live performances, and creative activities. The carnival created an informal space for alumni and current students to engage, network, and share experiences.

The celebrations concluded with a lively Musical Night, featuring a live performance by the band Khushnuma Panchi led by lead Meet Rao, followed by an energetic DJ Night.

Narayana Business School, an institution for the ages, celebrating 25 years of its excellence, has always chased conviction more than convenience. Starting from the specialized program to the placements, everything about this institute has been thoughtfully designed to uplift the ambitious talent coming from the corner of our country. The talent, which is rooted in Bharat, the talent which is accelerator of innovation and entrepreneurship beyond the metros.

21st December 2025 was a long due gathering of our community which we saved for our 25th year coinciding with 2025. The endless sense of nostalgia, chatter, mutual respect and ear-to-ear smile was a sight to behold. We congratulate everyone who has been the part of this journey with us, and as our director Dr Amit Gupta quoted “Our next 5 years will be much bigger than our last 25 years'”

Narayana Business School is now a proud foundation of a large and diverse alumni network with more than 9800+ alumni. This alumni meet was emotional for us as alumni, students, and faculty came together to celebrate shared memories, friendships, and the spirit of the NBS community.
