Who we are

We were incorporated on 25 March 2026 under the New Zealand Incorporated Societies Act 2022 (registration 50258152, NZBN 9429053548788) and operate nationwide through three regional chapters: Auckland, Wellington, and Christchurch.
IITAANZ is informally part of the global Pan-IIT network that links alumni of all 23 IIT campuses worldwide — alongside organisations such as PanIIT ANZ, PanIIT India, IIT Alumni UK, and PanIIT USA.
