Description
XLr is the official home in the cloud for all XLRI alumni.
It is designed to make connections across batches zero-effort, by automating the process of getting micro-communities together, around topics of their common interest. While you can connect with your own batch via conventional 'social networks', this novel 'subject-networking' technology is fantastic to connect up alumni across batches who are strangers, but have common interests. This allows alumni across all batches to discover, ideate with, help and support each other without having to know each other.
What's more, this alumni space is all XLRI. It is owned by XLRI, built for XLrs, and built by XLrs (it runs on a technology called foreva, developed by a '93 batch BMer!). This means the community is not hosted on a 3rd-party platform - it is a dedicated XLRI app, with all community data fully owned by XLRI, not a 3rd party. It also means that the app is completely customized for XLRI - a home to all the familiar oh-so-XL spaces, from MAXI to OMAXI, Dadu's to JLT Steps, Teacher's Room to Placement Corner, that XLrs, young and old, have all grown up with.
In short, this space is for XLrs to grow and build relationships for good - not just continue existing ones, but forge new connections, and together, across batches, move forward towards more and more activities for greater good.
Key features on the XLr app include:
· Easy invitation and on-boarding processes
· High level of configurability, to set up unlimited management and member created spaces, for public as well as private invite-only access.
· Use of built-in tools such as chat, video, polls and others - to engage meaningfully with members of the extended community.
· Zero-effort networking, where members get together automatically around topics of mutual interest.
· Deep and continuous profiling of the community in completely permission-driven ways, basis which hyper-personalized interactions can be run.
· All normal social networking features, including posts, chats, likes, shares, notifications, etc.
