About Harcourtian Connect
An independent networking initiative built to unite, empower, and celebrate the global community of HBTI and HBTU Kanpur alumni and students.
Why Harcourtian Connect Exists
Established in 1921, Harcourt Butler Technological Institute (now Harcourt Butler Technical University, Kanpur) has nurtured some of the finest engineers, researchers, entrepreneurs, and global leaders. With over a century of legacy, our alumni footprint stretches across multiple continents and industries.
However, the global community faced fragmented professional communication. Harcourtian Connect was launched independently as a private initiative to build a single, unified database and network that allows alumni to support one another, offer professional opportunities, and mentor current students.
Our Mission
