A Personal Invitation from My Side
There are moments in life when you feel the need to pause.
Pause the noise.Pause the speed.Pause the constant chase.
And simply sit with the people who shaped you.
For me, DMET was not just an institution. It was a furnace. It forged us. It tested us. It gave us resilience, discipline, and brotherhood.
Years later, when I look at our community — entrepreneurs, captains, technical leaders, professionals across the globe — I realise something powerful:
Behind every successful DMETian is a journey that deserves to be celebrated.
That thought led to this idea.
On 15th March, at Chopra Farms, we are gathering for something simple yet meaningful:
Celebrating Life & Journey of DMETians
This is not a party. This is not a networking event. This is not about status or titles.
This is about stories.
Why I Felt This Was Needed
Over the years, through DMET Club, I have met hundreds of alumni.
I’ve heard stories of struggle at sea, career pivots, business failures, reinventions, silent battles, breakthroughs, and resilience that would inspire generations.
But most of these stories are never shared in a room full of fellow DMETians.
We meet at large events. We shake hands. We exchange numbers. And then we leave.
But what if we created a space where:
Every DMETian gets a few minutes to share his or her journey
We listen deeply
We appreciate growth
We acknowledge struggles
We support each other’s next chapter
Not formally. Not ceremonially. But authentically.
The Vision for This Gathering
This 24-hour retreat is designed as an intimate brotherhood circle.
We will eat together.Sit together.Reflect together.Laugh together.And most importantly — listen to each other.
Each attendee will have the opportunity to speak about:
Their journey since DMET
Defining life moments
What they are building today
Where they seek support
What they have learned
And then, as a community, we will ask a powerful question:
How can we help each other move to the next level?
Because the true strength of DMET is not just its legacy —It is its network.
And that network must move from passive to active support.
More Than an Event — A Ritual
My idea is simple.
If this takes off the way I envision,I would love to make this a quarterly gathering.
A space that returns every three months.
A brotherhood reset.
A place where DMETians can:
Realign their direction
Celebrate progress
Share vulnerability
Build collaborations
Strengthen emotional bonds
In a fast-moving world, we need intentional pauses.
This could become one.
Why This Matters to Me Personally
I have always believed communities grow not just through scale — but through depth.
DMET Club has grown in numbers. Now it is time to grow in emotional strength.
If even one DMETian leaves this retreat feeling:
“I am not alone.”
“I am supported.”
“I am celebrated.”
Then this initiative will be worth it.
A Personal Invitation
If you resonate with this vision…
If you feel it’s time to reconnect not as professionals, but as brothers and sisters who walked the same corridors…
Join us.
Let’s celebrate not just achievements —But journeys.
Because before we were anything else…
We were, and always will be, DMETians.
