"As an alumnus of BITS (class of 1973), I am delighted to be to be part of this endeavor. A core team of BITS alumni at Cisco began developing a plan for helping BITS achieve its goals for an advanced campus network infrastructure and it is gratifying to see the entire chapter network working to see this achieve fruition."

"Having studied at some of the finest institutions in the world such as CALTECH and Stanford, after my brief stay at BITS-Pilani, I find that the difference between these Universities and BITS-Pilani is student access to laboratory facilities and computing resources. BITSConnect is a gigantic step in the direction of bridging this resource gap. I strongly believe that it will move BITS closer to its goal of producing the highest quality of engineering graduates in the world"

"It is such a great pleasure to be part of the BITSConnect project. I feel much more connected to BITS today because of this project and the people involved in the project than when I was in Pilani. This project is guaranteed to succeed and I will assume we will have more exciting projects down the line."

"I see this as a great opportunity for all who care about higher education in India to contribute to the development of a world-class infrastructure for one of India’s primary technology institutions. This infrastructure will serve tens of thousands of students over the next several years. What better way is there to impact the future of thousands of young minds!"

"BITSConnect has the potential to greatly enhance the quality of
education at BITS. It will enable alumni and others to involve BITS students in cutting-edge research and software development, a prospect I look
