PSG Tech Alumni Association Chennai Chapter

What PSG Tech Alumni Association Chennai Chapter does

PSG Tech Alumni Association Chennai Chapter (PSGTAACC) is a non-profit society registered under The Tamil Nadu Registration Of Society Act, 1975 (Society No. 526/2014), headquartered at TAM Flats, Saidapet, Chennai. The chapter traces its origins to 1960 as the Madras Chapter and serves graduates of PSG College of Technology and PSG Polytechnic College based in or native to Greater Chennai and neighboring districts. It operates with a small paid staff of 8 alongside a volunteer Executive Committee led by President Ratnakumar Nagarajan (Co-Founder & Executive Director at Kaar Technologies, Class of 1994) and other officers drawn from L&T, Verizon India, IIT Madras, Zoho, Caterpillar, and LTI Mindtree.

The chapter's core offerings are membership-based programs rather than technology products. These include the Alumni Business Council (ABC), a structured sub-initiative for entrepreneur and senior-management alumni that interfaces with Indian chambers of commerce (FICCI, ASSOCHAM, NASSCOM, MMA) and proposes exclusive facilities such as a conference hall, workstations, and coffee shop; a year-long Mentor Program linking students and early-career alumni with experienced mentors; a Fitness Community running sports, yoga, walkathon, and marathon activities; and an extensive calendar of events (Annual General Meetings, Family Get-Togethers, cultural festivals, talk shows, webinars). The technology stack is limited to standard community tools — a WordPress website (psgtaacc.org), LinkedIn/Facebook/Instagram/YouTube social channels, a 5,000+ alumni email database, and WhatsApp-based messaging.

Revenue is generated through annual membership fees (amount undisclosed), ABC membership fees, event registration (e.g., Family Get-Together 2026 at INR 750 per adult, INR 500 per child aged 5-10), tiered sponsorship packages (Business Promotion starting at INR 1,500; Full Sponsorship at minimum INR 10,000), and branded merchandise (e.g., PSGTAACC T-shirts at INR 450). Distribution is fully digital for sign-ups combined with in-person events at Chennai venues such as Hotel Green Park, Blue Lagoon Beach Resort, ICF Arun Stadium, and Kaartech premises. No external funding, venture capital, or parent-company backing is indicated.
