“My Batch with our PeMSAA” webinar series is the brainchild of Prof. Vasanthi Pinto, President, PeMSAA 19/20. It was the perfect solution for the dissemination and sharing of scientific knowledge and expertise during the COVID-19 pandemic that prevented hosting of any kind of physical forum.

“My Batch with our PeMSAA” webinars provided a common interactive platform to alumni spread across the world. It also created a wonderful opportunity for the batch mates to socialize and for PeMSAA to create new bonds as well as strengthen existing bonds with alumni. Five batch webinars were held during the year 2020 and more batches are lined up to have their own in time to come.
