What an unexpected reunion, 30 years later!😍
It was a great pleasure to welcome six international alumni from India to Frederick University, 30 years after their graduation. They even made T-shirts to celebrate their shared journey, which began in Cyprus in 1994.
What they thought would be a simple stroll outside the building soon evolved into a joyous reunion.
Coming from India and now residing in the USA, Australia, Ireland and the UK, the six graduates of the then Frederick Institute of Technology’s MBA program were warmly welcomed by the University’s President of the Council, Ms Natassa Frederickou.
👉Reflecting on their return, one of the alumni said: “We are really pleased and proud to be here after 30 years. This is where our journey in life started as young men. It was an absolutely fantastic journey from that day on. The human element of staying in touch and the human element of coming back and visiting Frederick University and how welcoming everyone is, is a lifelong memory event. It’s a journey, it’s not a once and done.”
Our wonderful graduates also met with the University’s Deputy Director of Administration and Finance, Mr George Kazantzis; the Dean of the School of Business and Law, Professor Eleni Hadjiconstantinou; and the Director of the Studies and Student Welfare Service, Ms Andrea Athanasiou.
🌍 Today, their professional journeys span a range of industries and leadership roles:
▪️Ragavan Vellayappan – Vice President, Global Quality, New York, USA
▪️ Sashi Bhushan – Managing Director for North and South America, Enterprise Data & Intelligence Services, USA
▪️ Devendra Chakravarty – Former Director of Software Services, Texas, USA; now a retired professional and investor

▪️ Prakash Ramnath – Finance Manager, Glad Group of Companies, Sydney, Australia
