Corporate collaborations were expanded across sectors such as fashion, food, healthcare, and automobiles to enhance alumni engagement. Cultural and community-building events and Iftar gatherings were conducted, along with three major batch-wise alumni reunions, culminating in the Grand Jashn for alumni from 1974-2025.
The association also made strides in youth development, launching the Mesaa Gavel Club and organised two seasons of the B K Mohammed Kunhi Elocution Competition with broad participation from Indian and international schools. The Mesaa Toastmasters Club celebrated its 25th and 50th sessions, earned the Premium Star Club Award in Qatar, and saw active member participation in national events.
