Hyderabad brought its own flavour to the evening, warm hospitality, easy conversations, and that unmistakable XL energy that never fades no matter the city.

The Hyderabad Summer Meet was proof that once an XLer, always an XLer, old friends picked up like no time had passed, and new connections were made over shared stories.

Here’s to the City of Pearls adding its own shine to the XL family.

XLRI Jamshedpur continues to redefine leadership education through experiential learning, as highlighted in a recent Times Now feature showcasing how the institute’s functional committees serve as platforms where students learn by leading.

The article explores how committees such as the Alumni Committee (ALCOM), External Linkages (ExLink), International Student Exchange Programme (ISEP), and Infracom enable students to take ownership, navigate real-world responsibilities, and uphold the values that define the XLRI community.

By transforming everyday experiences into opportunities for learning, collaboration, and service, XLRI nurtures leaders who embody integrity, accountability, and purpose—long before they receive their degree.

The feature reflects XLRI’s distinctive approach to management education, where leadership is not merely taught in classrooms but cultivated through meaningful experiences that prepare students to create lasting impact.
