Delhi: At the Imperial Hotel in Delhi, Junaid Atlaf Bukhari, president of the Doon School Old Boys’ Society, spoke about how the elite institution is “steeped in egalitarianism”.
“When we walk into the gates of Doon we are all equal,” he told ThePrint. “That is how we approach each other. It’s not just about education, but the values of education.”
But it’s no ordinary school. The first-ever Doon School Summit was a testament to the vitality of its alumni network — the Indian equivalent of Ivy League levels of access. A coveted, upwardly mobile group, its riches were on full display at the summit.
