GP, whether Krishna's statement applies to you or not, you definitely should use and pimp your IIT name with no shame.  Nehru tried to emulate the MIT in India by creating IIT which has now surpassed the one it was modelled after (MIT) in terms of producing the best students in engineering and technology.  The cat must've done a 360 turn on his grave!!  BTW, In corporate America tody, if applying to any trading position (be it for commodities, FI and equities, etc.), just the name IIT will push your name among the interviewees...After that its what and how you make of it.  Damn, IIT!!  They had the school featured in CNBC a couple of years ago and they interviewed Vinod Khosla, the co-founder of Sun and he literally lifted all IIT students balls and held it on top of his head.  They interviewd students who were not accepted into IIT but ended upw ith full scholarships to MIT, Cornell and Harvard.  No wonder look at the list I put up on this thread...The IIT alums are:

Ramani Ayer

Vinod Khosla

Rakesh Gangwal

Rajat Gupta

Many more in other sectors that are not among the Fortune 500.

Thanks Ashu for dropping by.  And as per Amazing, you too were an IIT alum (?).  If so, I could see where your entrepreneurial/leadership instincts arose from.  Good to read your post as always.  Amazing bro, keep em coming.

For all the Neps in IIT or all its Nep alums, I salute you!!
