Buckeyes across India gathered with fellow alumni to watch The Game on November 30. For the most highly anticipated football game of the season, the India Gateway and the India Alumni Club sponsored and organized Ohio State versus The Team Up North watch parties in Bangalore, Mumbai, New Delhi, Chennai and Pune.

Over 50 alumni cheered on the Buckeyes at the events, and a few Michigan alumni joined the watch parties.

Thashvin Muckatira ’05 MS in Bangalore and Swapni Gawade ’10 MBA in Pune were kind enough to provide their own professional venues for arranging the game watch while Akshay Nair ’03 BS, president of the India Alumni Club, found a venue in New Delhi. Ruchit Shah in Mumbai and Rajesh Durairaj ’04 MS in Chennai proved invaluable to Buckeyes having a great night in all venues.

The Buckeyes would probably never have dreamed of any other outcome than having the perfect football season in its sesquicentennial year! The Ohio State team stretched its winning streak in its last appearances against the team up north to 8-0.
