A connected Crescent community
One shared legacy. Many journeys. A connected future.
Crescent Connekt is a common platform to help people across the wider Crescent ecosystem rediscover its journey, stay informed about its institutions and connect with one another.
The foundation
A vision that opened doors for generations.
Inspired by the life and vision of Alhaj Dr. B. S. Abdur Rahman, Crescent Connekt brings together the people and institutions shaped by a shared educational journey.
His legacy lives not only in buildings and institutions, but in the generations of students whose lives and opportunities were transformed through education.
The Crescent journey
The journey began in 1967.
The work began at Harrington Road, Chetpet, and grew over the decades into a wider educational ecosystem spanning schools, higher education and professional disciplines.

Our people, across the world
Reconnect with the wider Crescent community.
Across generations and professions, Crescent’s former students, families, educators and well-wishers form a far-reaching community. An estimated reach of over 40,000 people has been discussed as a starting point; this is not a verified membership count.
The first step is simple: help people rediscover the institutions, learn what is happening today and find meaningful ways to stay connected.

Enable professional introductions, recruitment, knowledge-sharing and the discovery of complementary expertise.
Explore possibilities
Provide a starting point for conversations around healthcare infrastructure and other collaborative opportunities. Any venture would require independent due diligence, approvals and formal agreements.
