Inventor(s) include Prof. Rupali Mahajan; Vishakha Vilas Pawar; Tanuja Balasaheb Patange; Vedant Vinod Patil; Shubham Gajanan Pawar; and Ganesh Sampat Pokharkar.
The application for the patent was published on April 17, under issue no. 16/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "This platform turns alumni engagement into something measurable and meaningful. Instead of just connecting people, it actively assesses student skills through contests, intelligently matches them with alumni mentors based on performance, and tracks how engaged everyone is across the board. Here's how it works: students compete in skill challenges created by alumni. The system grades their work automatically, then uses those results to recommend the right mentors-people who actually have expertise in areas where students need help. Meanwhile, it's tracking participation and contribution across the platform, giving schools real data on what's working. Everything runs with smart privacy controls, real-time messaging, and cloud-based scalability. The result? Alumni stay more involved, students get better prepared for careers, and institutions finally have a way to measure and improve these connections."
