Mekalsuta College continues to build on its legacy of academic excellence by producing graduates who not only meet the demands of today’s world but go on to lead and innovate across industries. The Alumni Success Stories 2025 highlight just how far ambition, education, and persistence can take individuals who start their journey at this esteemed institution.
Breaking Barriers: From Classroom to C-Suite
One of the standout achievements this year comes from Aarav Mehta, Class of 2012, who now serves as Chief Operations Officer at TechNova Solutions, a fast-growing AI-based logistics firm in Singapore. Starting out as a software developer, Aarav climbed the ranks through strategic innovation and leadership. He credits Mekalsuta’s strong foundation in critical thinking and real-world problem solving for shaping his career path.
“The projects we worked on back then seemed small,” says Aarav, “but they prepared me to think globally and act decisively.”
Trailblazers in Entrepreneurship
The 2025 list wouldn’t be complete without spotlighting alumni who chose the entrepreneurial route. Simran Joshi, a 2015 graduate in Business Studies, launched EcoHarvest Foods, an organic farming startup in Maharashtra. In just four years, her venture expanded to supply sustainable produce to over 300 retail chains nationwide.
Simran’s success is a classic example of what happens when academic insight meets real-world problems. Her company is not only profitable but also employs over 120 rural youth, creating meaningful jobs while promoting ecological sustainability.
Similarly, Anuj Patel, a Computer Science graduate from the 2016 batch, founded CodeSmart Academy, a hybrid ed-tech platform aimed at upskilling undergraduates in Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities. His startup reached 25,000 students in 2024 alone and was recently acquired by a major global player in the online learning space.
Global Impact: Alumni Leading Across Borders
Mekalsuta alumni are increasingly making their mark on the global stage. Dr. Farah Khan, from the 2010 batch, is now a leading epidemiologist at the World Health Organization. Her work in public health policy, especially during global emergencies, has saved countless lives and earned her recognition from multiple governments.
Also noteworthy is Devang Rao, who serves as Senior Policy Advisor at the United Nations. A former Political Science major, his role in international peacekeeping strategy has positioned him as a respected voice in diplomacy circles.
These examples are more than just Alumni Success Stories 2025 – they represent the growing international relevance of Mekalsuta College as an academic powerhouse.
Industry Experts and Change-Makers
Within India, several alumni are now playing critical roles in shaping their industries. Neha Saxena, who graduated in 2014 with a degree in Media & Communication, is currently the Head of Content Strategy at a major OTT platform. Her campaigns have consistently topped national viewership charts.
Likewise, Rajiv Nair, a Finance graduate, now leads risk management operations for one of India’s top private banks. His work has been crucial in modernizing the bank’s digital lending platform, making credit more accessible to micro-entrepreneurs.
