Thank You


Back when the Internet was taking baby steps on campus networks(1993), two separate initiatives started. Albert Thomas (91 Prod) started an email based alumni registry out of the Texas A&M University in College Station, TX. Separately, Baiju Jacob (91 ECE) started a website to register alumni information, share news, display pictures, etc. This website was hosted at Temple University, Philadelphia, PA.

In 1994, Baiju registered a new domain - PSG.ORG and PSG Tech made its first appearance on the Internet. Over the years, the site evolved, changed domains and helped register and connect over 9,000 alumni.

It has been Twenty years since. Times have changed and there are now many ways for alumni to stay in touch. PSGTechAlumni.Org served its purpose and has now simply outlived its usefulness. The collection, search and display of alumni information is being stopped effective immediately.

Credits
This Website was made possible due to the time and effort volunteered by several alumni and friends.
We thank from the bottom of our hearts, every one who contributed to this effort. We would like to make special mention of the following individuals and organizations.
  • Albert Thomas (91 Prod) for managing the website from 1998 until 2014 and for funding it from 2003 until 2014.
  • Baiju Jacob (91 ECE) for coming up with this whole idea of a web site. Baiju started this page way back in 1994 and registered the original psg.org domain and funded it until more sponsors came along.
  • Dhillip Anandam (91 EEE) and webindia.com for having hosted the Tech site temporarily at www.webindia.com  before we moved to our current site. Thanks Dhillip.
  • Special thanks to Benjamin Philip bphilip@granada.com for housing our site at his organization(granada.com) for almost a year in 1994.
  • Former PSG Institutions CE Mr. C.R, Swaminathan and Dr. P. Radhakrishnan for consistent support and encouragement over the years.
  • Last, but not least, we are thankful to everyone who made monetary contributions over the years and especially early on when costs were a lot higher.
