[OMPA] The OMPA Community/Meets Thread! PG Meets & Events

Report

Dear All,

Welcome to the OMPA-only thread. What is this, you say?

Well, PG has completed 7 years, and there are many of us who have spent a lot of that time alongwith the forums. Last year, an idea that took wings was OMPA, or Old Men Puys Association (We are not sexist, but OMPA sounds much better than OMPA-OWPA or OPPA)

The idea of OMPA was born during AIPGM 2009, and we stole the name from chuck_gopal's theme for Coolest Avatar 2009.

It gave rise to two major ideas that season:

http://www.pagalguy.com/forum/chit-chat-your-interests/40252-pg-ompact-oldies-cat-2009-a.html
which was featured on the portal as well as: Old, wise and CAT veteran but still itching for CAT 2009 | PaGaLGuY.com - Indias biggest website for MBA in India, International MBA, CAT, XAT, SNAP, MAT

and

http://www.pagalguy.com/forum/pagalguy-community-events-pg-meets/43351-get-know-how-industry-works.html
which was featured on the portal as well as: Take a CAT veteran out for dinner! | PaGaLGuY.com - Indias biggest website for MBA in India, International MBA, CAT, XAT, SNAP, MAT

This year, we plan to expand and formalize our relationship with PG on a grander level. We have many ideas under our hat which will bear fruition over the year.

We shall try to limit this thread to only substantial posts, and try avoiding the spam. We request all readers to do so as well.

The criteria, this year, to join OMPA has been limited to those who joined PG within or before 2007, or have completed their MBA during or before 2009. As we formalize the criteria, I shall add more to it.

Those who fulfill the miniscule amount of criteria described above, do post in with your details:
