AAFT University of Media and Arts' Alumni Cell is among the most vibrant and effective bodies of the university, with a mission of creating and fostering lasting bonds between the alumni and the institution. Operating proactively for years, the cell is instrumental in creating a strong and emotionally connected web of past students, present learners, and staff—composing a complete family tree that strengthens over the years. All students who graduate from AAFT automatically become a part of the alumni cell. But it's more than a formal membership—it's an invitation to remain connected, to give back, and to motivate. The cell operates proactively and perpetually to stay in close contact with alumni, monitoring their career paths, successes, and contributions across different fields of media, journalism, film-making, fashion, advertising, music, and performing arts. The cell is proud of the success stories of its alumni and makes sure that they are honored as living testimonies of the excellence of the university. One of the most outstanding initiatives of the Alumni Cell is its relentless endeavor to bridge past and present. Through alumni interaction sessions, industry talks, mentorship drives, and alumni meets, it provides present-day students with a rare chance to learn directly from individuals who were once in their positions. Not only are these sessions motivating for students, but through them, students are also provided with practical industry insight, professional advice, and real-world experience. Apart from in-campus activities, the cell also closely follows the achievement of its alumni all over the world. Whether one is employed in a leading news channel, is making a movie, is hosting a radio show, or is running a media house, the alumni cell assures their success stories are being communicated among the AAFT family. They bolster a sense of pride, belongingness, and togetherness. Also, alumni themselves tend to become benefactors, mentoring current students in the form of internships, training programs, or employment opportunities. Such a supportive system makes the cell not only a platform of nostalgia but also a forward-thinking community oriented toward upliftment and mutual growth. In a way, the AAFT University Alumni Cell is a celebration of legacy. It makes sure that the relationship between the university and the students does not come to an end with graduation—instead, it continues to grow, flourish into a lifelong expedition of cooperation, inspiration, and mutual success. With its tireless work, the Alumni Cell is a proud representation of AAFT's never-ending pledge to its students—past, present, and future.

The AAFT University of Media and Arts Alumni Cell is greater than a mere formal organization—it is the emotional strand that ties the past, present, and future of the university into a single vibrant and cohesive family. The cell has existed as a bridge between the university and its alumni for a number of years, maintaining the relationship that was established during student life into a vibrant, ongoing relationship long after graduation. Every student who passes out from AAFT becomes an integral part of this thriving alumni community. The cell works relentlessly to track the achievements, milestones, and journeys of its alumni across the globe. It is not only a medium of connection, but also a platform for celebration, mentorship, and collaboration. The Alumni Cell regularly conducts events and initiatives that allow alumni to reconnect with the institution, share their knowledge, and inspire future professionals.
Two of its most significant and flagship programs are Paricharcha and Samvad.
Paricharcha is an extremely interesting interactive and story-telling-based program where alumni come back to where they came from at AAFT and narrate their life stories—from being students to being successful industry professionals. It is an interactive platform where erstwhile students talk candidly, imparting real, raw, and authentic experiences of what they have been through. They reflect on the struggles, challenges, dreams, efforts, and turning points that helped them evolve in their career. This program is a live model for present students, providing them with a first-hand awareness of the professional arena and how to leave an impression in highly competitive sectors such as films, journalism, media, fashion, advertisements, and digital arts. Paricharcha is not simply a session—it is a sentimental return home, replete with nostalgia, candor, and inspiration. It inspires present learners to dream high, labor diligently, and have faith in their own odyssey.
Samvad is an engaging and interactive discussion-based session meant to ensure interaction amongst alumni, students, and teachers. As opposed to Paricharcha, which deals with personal anecdotes, Samvad gets deep into industry trends, innovation, media ethics, digital evolution, and professional growth. It gathers the crème de la crème of the AAFT alumni in one space, igniting discussions that are intellectually stimulating as well as professionally enlightening. In Samvad, alumni not only talk about their experiences but also their professional insights and real advice on existing challenges and new opportunities in their specific line of business. These sessions enable students to question, discuss, learn about evolving media environments, and expand their thinking beyond what textbooks can.
Paricharcha and Samvad collectively are testimonies to the Alumni Cell's vision to create a sturdy, nurturing, and visionary family. These initiatives make it possible for the wisdom of the past to enable the aspirations of the present. By fostering individual bonds and professional wisdom, the AAFT Alumni Cell remains a centerpoint in forging futures and honoring the heritage of its alumni community. Fundamentally, the Alumni Cell is not merely a department—it is the soul of AAFT's ever-expanding family, where each alumnus becomes an inspiration, and each student gets a mentor, a guide, and a peep into the future.
