🌿 BITSian Listening Tree

Hi, I’m Rijul. I’m a BITS Goa alum (2014–2019), and I understand the unique pressures of campus life. Over time, I’ve worked in the space of digital wellbeing, helping millions of students build a healthier relationship with their screens and manage burnout. I’ve also worked with suicide prevention helplines. I’m here to listen without judgment.

Hi, I’m Ram, (BITS-Pilani, Pilani campus, 1989-1993). I’ve been in the higher education space for close to 20 years. As part of my administrative responsibilities for over six years, I have worked with students dealing with the various challenges of being a student in a fully-residential campus. Most of the time, students are just looking for someone to listen.

Hello dear fellow bitsians. Hi, I am Anju, 2000A8PS262. Graduated in 2004. Completed my PhD and worked across research, higher education and healthcare sectors. I have been trained as a health and wellbeing coach and I can provide that safe and non-judgemental space for you to share and reflect. Sharing it with someone can help you see things clearly.

Hi fellow Bitsians. I passed out from the Pilani campus in 1978. Today I am an Executive coach and Counsellor and provide emotional support to those who need it. Sometimes, the weight of the circumstances can be difficult to bear on one's own and at such times, if there is someone who will listen without judging, it can be very comforting.

Reach out to me - Harini - a 2004 batch BITSian. I am also a trained psychologist. More than anything, I am a mother to an engineering student, and understand that the world out there is so complex. If you ever felt out of place, lack of confidence, having a heartbreak, or just need an ear to listen, you are not alone.

Hi - I'm Pramod (PC). I studied at Pilani (1987-1991). I'm on the BITSAA board, leading mentorship for students. In Pilani, I had a reputation of being the "listening tree" - folks would walk in any time of day or night just to chat. My door is always open. Reach out, and the listening tree will be around any time day or night!

Hi, I’m Neha, BITS Pilani '87. Today, I work with youth - young working professionals and students - helping them find clarity about their careers and lives. If you’re going through something and just want to talk and not be told what to do, not be judged, just heard - I’m here. Please don’t hesitate.

Hi, I’m Sushi, Goa campus (2005-2010). I’ve spent the better part of the last several years in direct conversation with students. I know what campus life feels like: the pressure of acads, comparisons, and enormous decisions. I know how much it helps to just say something out loud to someone who will listen without judgement.

Hi, I’m Sandhya, Pilani alum (1987–1991). I’ve worked as an entrepreneur, author, speaker, and self-healing practitioner. Through chanting, music, and conversation, I’ve supported people in navigating life’s ups and downs. I’m here to listen—truly listen. A conversation can make things feel lighter and clearer.

Hi, I’m Arjun, Pilani alum (1987–1991) working in education and training for over 35 years. I continue to be in active touch with students regarding their aspirations. Happy to listen and be with you as you navigate “our BITS” insti life with all its excitement and ambiguity. (available from June 2026)

Hello there! I am Nishant (2013B2A1). I went through a long period of listlessness during my years at BITS. Acceptance of how the world is changed my worldview. After college, I went through many failures, and I believe my experiences can help people in similar situations. Feel free to reach out for some honest conversation.
