A college is as good as the cultural and intellectual capital of its students. But, what makes it special is the strength and influence of its alumni. Podar college of Commerce and Economics has an illustrious past. Students from the college have gone on to excel in diverse domains like Cricket, Politics and business.

It is no coincidence that Podar alumni have gone on to make history. The culture of the college is such that every talent is nurtured, both by professors and peers. Festivals like Rapport and Enigma ensure that every whacky idea is given the due respect.

Cricket is to Podar what blood is to the human body. The sport that is a heartbeat of the nation has seen unparelled contribution from the college! The current Chairman of Selectors, Mr. Dilip Vengsarkar hails from Podar. One of the most exciting wicketkeepers that India has seen, Farookh Engineer is from the first batch of Podar.
