Who we are
Make your DAAD experience count towards a better global future
IndiAlumni brings together DAAD-funded people, alumni and supporters from both countries. Whatever you studied and wherever you are now, this is a place to stay connected to India and Germany — and to the people who understand what that experience was like.
What we do
Four things make up most of our year.
Monthly Stammtisch
Our Desi Deutsch Dialogues bring members together online every month for open, informal exchange.
Projects & events
Practical initiatives that support academic exchange in both directions.
Local contacts
Members and representatives in university towns across Germany.
Every year since 2014
ConFest is where the network meets
A weekend of talks, workshops and a cultural evening. It is the one moment in the year when the whole network is in the same room — and, for many members, the reason they joined in the first place.
Events
Every month
Desi Deutsch Dialogues — the monthly Stammtisch
The board and members meet online on the third Tuesday of every month, 20:00–21:00 CET. Non-members are very welcome, and it is free. For the meeting link, email board@indialumni.org or send us a DM on Instagram.

A welcome from the President
You are very welcome here
Whether you spent a semester in Heidelberg or a decade in Delhi, something about that experience stayed with you. IndiAlumni exists so it does not have to end when the funding does.
We are a network of researchers, students, professionals and founders who share one thing: a life lived across India and Germany. Come to a Stammtisch, come to ConFest, or just write to us. You will find people worth knowing.

President, DAAD IndiAlumni Netzwerk e.V.
Between the meet-ups, we are here
Lend a hand
Support us by becoming part of our team
Everything here is run by members in their own time. If you would like to help rather than just attend, we would be glad to hear from you: host a Stammtisch in your city, find us a speaker, look after our social media, or help put ConFest 2027 together.
Write to board@indialumni.org and tell us what you would enjoy doing. You do not need a lot of time, and you do not need to be a member first.
Your Indo-German network starts here
Open to anyone who has received DAAD funding for a stay in India, and to people of Indian origin who have received DAAD funding for a stay in Germany. From €12 a year.
