Alumni Engagement Platform
From scattered alumni data to a living, branded alumni network.
The alumni path is a maturity ladder. Start by knowing who your alumni are. Engage them with each other. Grow into mentorship and giving. Each tier includes everything in the previous one.
WHY THIS EXISTS
The problem. The solution. The timing.
Why
Institutions often manage alumni records across spreadsheets, messaging groups and public social networks. ForgeCircle centralizes governed profiles and participation records that can support evidence preparation for NAAC Criterion 5.4 alumni-engagement workflows without claiming accreditation certification.
When you need this
Use Connect to establish a searchable alumni system, Engage when the community needs events, groups and mentorship, and Grow when you need advanced mentorship, giving, surveys and analytics. Enterprise SSO and SCIM are separately scoped capabilities.
How it works
Start at the smallest tier that covers your current alumni population and required workflows. Import support is scoped during onboarding. Move from Connect to Engage or Grow when either the capacity limit or the next workflow set is required.
WHO THIS IS FOR
Built for your role.
Different roles see different pain. ForgeCircle speaks to each one.
Principal / Director
Alumni network is invisible — no data for NAAC accreditation or admissions marketing.
Turn your alumni network into a ranking and placement accelerator with documented engagement metrics.
Alumni Relations Officer
Low event turnout, donation fatigue, alumni on LinkedIn and WhatsApp — not your portal. Scattered Excel sheets to manage.
One branded platform where alumni engage, mentor, and give back. Replace scattered Excel sheets with one searchable directory.
IT Administrator
Another SaaS tool, security worries, DPDP compliance questions.
Enterprise-grade security, SSO ready, consent management and data rights controls, multi-tenant RLS.
THE TIERS
The maturity ladder.
Each tier includes everything in the previous one. Upgrade when you need the next level.
Alumni Connect
Know your alumni
Connect is not "cheap Alumni." It is the foundational Alumni system. Institutions dealing with Excel, WhatsApp groups, old databases, disconnected records, no searchable directory, no centralized alumni profile — this is where they start. The directory is the wedge. The "aha moment" is seeing the alumni directory populate from a CSV import.
You have a directory but alumni don't interact. You need events, groups, and engagement tracking.
Alumni Engage
Bring them together
A directory is a list. A community is a living network. Engage turns your alumni from names in a database into active participants who attend events, join groups, connect with each other, and begin mentoring. The engagement metrics give you the data NAAC asks for — not just "how many alumni do you have" but "how many are actively engaging."
You need advanced mentorship, giving, surveys, contextual connections, alumni recommendations or advanced analytics.
Alumni Grow
Activate the network
Grow is the activation tier: alumni can mentor students, participate in giving, complete surveys and use deeper community and analytics workflows.
You want to add full Placements and become the complete institutional bridge → upgrade to Campus.
ADD-ONS
Available add-ons.
Each tier delivers its promise without add-ons. Add-ons supplement, not replace, tier upgrades.
Enterprise
Verified SAML SSO, SCIM provisioning and enterprise governance scope.
Accreditation & Outcomes
Evidence and reporting workflows scoped separately from accreditation decisions.
White-Label & Branding
Contracted branding and white-label controls.
Language & Localization
Commercial language-pack activation confirmed during scoping.
Data & Migration
One-time mapping, cleaning and import service.

COMMON CONCERNS
You probably have questions.
Here are the concerns we hear most often — and how we address them.
We already use LinkedIn for alumni.
LinkedIn has no NAAC reporting, no mentorship management, no alumni giving, no white-label, no Indian language support, no engagement analytics, no surveys, and no SSO. ForgeCircle does all of this in one branded platform that your institution controls.
Our alumni data is in Excel. It will take months to migrate.
Our CSV import handles mapping and cleaning automatically. Many institutions are live within weeks, not months. We also offer a one-time Data & Migration service. The "aha moment" is seeing your alumni directory populate from a CSV import.
Alumni won't use another platform.
ForgeCircle gives alumni institution-specific reasons to return: events, groups, mentorship, opportunities and giving. Fifteen product locales are implemented; commercial language-pack availability is confirmed during scoping.
We don't need events or mentorship yet — just a directory.
Start with Connect. Upgrade to Engage when you need events, groups and basic mentorship, then Grow when you need giving, advanced mentorship, surveys and deeper analytics.
What about SSO and security? Our IT team has concerns.
Privacy, consent, data rights and tenant-isolation controls are part of the product. Verified SAML SSO and SCIM provisioning are enterprise capabilities and are not presented as included in Alumni Grow.
How is this different from a generic community portal?
ForgeCircle combines institution-governed alumni workflows with a clear path to placement operations through Complete Campus. Language-pack and branding scope are stated explicitly in the proposal rather than implied.
UPGRADE PATH
Upgrade as you grow.
FAQ
