Even though 15 members had confirmed to attend the meeting, due to certain personal and official reasons only 10 took part in it.

During a visit to India in March, the President of “César Ritz” Colleges Switzerland, Mr Martin Kisseleff, and Ms Tanja Kisseleff (recently appointed Founding Dean for the first year of operation for the Higher Diploma in Hotel and Tourism Management at the Good Shepherd College in Ooty, India), took the opportunity to meet some “César Ritz” alumni at a special meeting organized by Irfan Mirza, the President of the country’s Alumni Chapter. They also took the opportunity to travel to meet a number of alumni throughout the country. Irfan wrote this round-up of these meetings as well as providing some updates on alumni.
The alumni reunion was held in Mumbai on 2 March and it was a pleasure to welcome both Mr Martin Kisseleff and Ms Tanja Kisseleff. Also attending was Sagar Narkar, who brought his wife Varsha along, and Dheeraj Sukhija, who recently completed his management training in the United States. We were also pleased to have Salaka Pulkar joining us. Salaka is not one of our alumni but an employee of our representative, Tasmac, in Pune. It was a good chance for Salaka to get acquainted with some of our ex students.
Apart from the alumni meeting, on their trip around India, the Kisseleffs were pleased to meet a number of alumni.
