In the event of such a successful completion of the Alumni Research Talks - 2012, due acknowledgement goes out for the most special Alumni who graced the event and gave substance to it. Of-course, our sponsors for the event - Google and NetApp without whom, it would had been extremely difficult to organize and manage an event of such a scale. To the faculty who have been all-inspiring and supporting, many thanks.Our heartfelt gratitude extends to the Computer Science Association, BITS-Pilani and BITS Embryo for conceptualising and actualising the three day event. We also remain grateful to the Department of CCTV, BITS-Pilani for the coverage of the event. We extend our most sincere gratitude to the BITS Institute for all the infrastructure and support provided.Last but not the least, we thank the Almighty for reasons too innumerable to mention.

While research talks remain an indispensable practice in most premier institutes around the world, a slight variation of the same, the Alumni Research Talks promises to be a novel concept with immense potential on the Indian front.
