Mr. Nandan Nilekani

B. Tech. - 1978, Electrical Engineering

Nandan Mohanrao Nilekani was born in Bengaluru and received his bachelor’s degree from IIT Bombay. “My five years at IIT-Bombay were the defining experience of my life,” said Mr Nilekani. Mr Nilekani is well known for being an outstanding strategist, an excellent analytical thinker, and an extraordinary communicator. He co-founded Infosys, the most definitive software company to emerge from India. As an advisor on innovation to the National Payments Corporation of India, he played a critical role in the launch of UPI (Unified Payments Interface).

After his outstanding success with Infosys, Mr Nilekani took on another mammoth challenge when he was made the Chairman of the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI). This gave birth to the Aadhar Card, an Indian biometric ID system that includes the demographic information of billion-plus Indian residents. Over the years, Mr Nilekani has continued to give back to his alma mater to refurbish its infrastructure and establish state-of-the-art hostels on campus.

His philanthropic endowment ensured the maintenance, upgradation, renovation, and building of additional rooms at Hostel 8, which eventually became a benchmark for all the other hostels on campus.

Continuing his theme of providing a better quality of life to his alma mater’s current students, Mr Nilekani’s generosity led to the setting up Hostels 12, 13, and 14. The three hostels cater to the needs of more than 1000 national and international students with world-class amenities. They include a 24X7 state-of-the-art CCTV facility, gym, a lavish lounge room, separate areas for reading/computer, playing pool, music, and boxing, a common area, laundry facilities, and more. The hostels also have an outdoor volleyball court, a badminton court, and an open playground.

Mr Nilekani’s generosity laid the foundation for the Society for Innovation and Entrepreneurship (SINE), which was set up in 2004 to foster entrepreneurship and nurture tech start-ups. So far, SINE has incubated more than 180 startups and has raised Rs. 4425 Crores.

His endowment fund to the Department of Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) has helped and energised its faculty, students, and support staff. The fund allowed the department to buy equipment, meet operational costs, create chair professorships, and help students attend international seminars and symposiums. The Department of CSE at IIT Bombay is among the most prestigious and demanding for students to be admitted. The department attracts top rankers from the JEE to its B.Tech. Programme and applicants with GATE scores greater than 850 to its M. Tech. Programme.

Every year, the CSE department publishes several research articles in top-tier conferences and journals (as ranked by CORE). The CSE faculty have brought accolades to the Institute by winning many eminent awards such as the Padma Shri, Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar award, Infosys Prize, and many other esteemed fellowships.

Mr. Bharat Desai

B. Tech. - 1975, Electrical Engineering

Bharat Desai and his wife Neerja Sethi established the Desai Sethi School of Entrepreneurship to champion entrepreneurial activity on campus. It serves as a world-class knowledge center and a launching pad for new venture creation at IITB.

They endowed a scholarship for the five highest ranking women in the Joint Entrance Exams joining IITB each year to serve as an inspiration for all female students, and encourage them to consider IITB as their choice institution for learning.

Inspired by the ethos of “balance, strength and flexibility of the body, mind and spirit,” they saw value in constructing a new gymkhana at IITB.

Mr. Victor Menezes

B. Tech. - 1970, Electrical Engineering

Mr. Victor Menezes graduated with honours from IIT Bombay in 1970 and completed his master’s degree in business administration from the MIT Sloan School of Management in 1972. He went on to have a 32-year global career with Citigroup Inc. and retired from the company as its Senior Vice Chairman.

Post his retirement, Mr. Menezes continues to be involved in several organisations including chairing the Advisory Board for Citi India, the Executive Committee of the Eisenhower Fellowships, and the Clearing House Association. He is a senior advisor of New Silk Route, an international private equity firm, and is the Vice Chairman of the Asia Society and Catholic Charities in New York.

Even as Mr. Menezes blazed a trail of success in his professional life, he never forgot the role his alma mater played in this journey. His batch at the Institute was the very first to reside in Hostel 8. He was also one of the Founders and Co-Chair of the IIT Bombay Heritage Foundation (IITBHF) which is amongst the earliest and most successful alumni organizations in India. Paying it forward to his alma mater was paramount to Mr. Menezes and his philanthropic donation resulted in the setting up of a state-of-the-art convention centre at the Institute.

“I received a priceless education from IIT Bombay, and this is a small way to say thank you,” said Mr. Menezes. “I hope the centre will help support the exchange of ideas at IIT Bombay.”

The Victor Menezes Convention Centre (VMCC) was inaugurated by former union minister for Human Resources and Development, Mr. Kapil Sibal, on January 8, 2011.

VMCC houses 6 lecture halls with a 150-seat capacity each and 10 lecture halls with a 75-seat capacity each. These are used to host conferences, seminars, training sessions, workshops, and academic activities every year. The Centre also includes a VIP lounge, a cafeteria with a pantry, a conference hall to host business conventions, and a well-equipped auditorium with the latest technical installations with a capacity to accommodate up to 390 visitors.

Several prestigious events have been held at VMCC since it was set up at IIT Bombay. These include INDICON 2013, Design Degree Show 2015, Humanising Work & Environment 2015, SOULS 2016, 24th ICCE 2016, Next Generation Aerospace Skills 2016, and more. VMCC has gone a long way towards boosting IIT Bombay’s profile globally, increased R&D initiatives, enhanced collaboration with the industry, and has aided in IIT Bombay’s journey toward becoming a global leader in science and technology.

Mr. Kanwal Rekhi

B. Tech. - 1967, Electrical Engineering

Mr. Rekhi worked in emerging areas of technology before he founded Excelan in 1982, a network technology company that introduced many pioneering products to the industry. Excelan went public in 1987 and merged with Novell in 1989. He is the co-founder of TiE (The Indus Entrepreneurs), a global networking platform for Indian entrepreneurs. As president of TiE, Mr. Rekhi advises and promotes young entrepreneurs and, under his leadership, TiE has spread to many cities in the USA.

Mr. Rekhi has often acknowledged the role that IIT Bombay played in his successful career. He was a trailblazer when it came to paying it forward to his alma mater. He recollects when he returned to Mumbai in 1993 (his first visit back home after he graduated from IIT Bombay in 1967) and decided to make a quick trip to his beloved IITB Powai campus. But what he saw shocked him. His memory of a brand-new campus from when he was a student now consisted of hostel buildings that were falling apart and had not been painted in close to two decades.

A year later he met with Prof. Sukhatme, then Director of IITB, and learned that the Institute did not have the budget to cater to ‘incidental expenses’ like the refurbishment of campus infrastructure. Mr. Rekhi immediately offered to fund the renovation and sent a cheque for $50,000 to his alma mater. He learned to his surprise that there was no legal precedent for Government Institutes like IIT Bombay to accept private donations. “It got the wheels turning in Delhi and took literally an act of parliament to enable. It was three years before the check was finally cashed.”

Mr. Rekhi continued to give back to his alma mater and set up the Kanwal Rekhi School of Information Technology (KRESIT) at IIT Bombay. In 2006, KRESIT merged with the Department of Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) at the Institute. Circa 2022, the Department of CSE at IIT Bombay is one of the prestigious and toughest programmes to get into. It attracts top rankers from the JEE to its B.Tech. programme and applicants with GATE scores greater than 850 to its M. Tech. programme.

Mr. Rekhi believes firmly that the fortunes of the IITs should be connected to the fortunes of its alumni. To that end, he continues to be a very involved alumnus and an active participant/advisor to IIT Bombay Heritage Fund.

Dr. Shridhar Shukla

Electrical Engineering, B. Tech. - 1983

After graduating from IIT Bombay in 1983, Dr. Shukla got his MS in Electrical Engineering from Virginia Tech and a Ph.D. from North Carolina State University. Dr. Shukla’s career ranges from research and academia to technology development, corporate leadership, and entrepreneurship.

Giving back to his alma mater is key to Dr. Shukla.

He is a Distinguished Service Awardee of IIT Bombay and has served as a Chairman of the IITB Alumni Association. He has also organized lectures by technocrats, entrepreneurs, and other luminaries for IITB alumni in Pune.

After recently completing his corporate career, Dr. Shukla’s focus shifted to digital trust technology. To that end, his generous philanthropic donation was instrumental in the setting up of the IIT Bombay Trust Lab. Dr. Shukla also participates actively as an investor and advisor to organizations working to improve affordable private schools and government-run schools.

IIT Bombay has always led from the front when it comes to developing solutions for nationally critical issues, especially within science and technology. The setting up of the Trust Lab embodies IIT Bombay’s commitment to fulfilling that role in the area of digital trust and hopes that it will substantially impact the digital trust ecosystem in our country.

IIT Bombay’s Trust Lab will develop state-of-the-art theory and practice in digital trust in academia, industry, and government. It will develop processes for seamlessly translating science to technology, encourage synergies between various pockets of excellence already present in the country through TrustNet, set up and promote resources for digital enterprises, and much more.

Speaking about the importance of establishing the Trust Lab at his alma mater, Dr. Shukla said, “India is leading the world in going digital at the population scale. As we do that, Digital Security becomes as critical as food, energy, and border security. The IITB Trust Lab is all about building a strong foundation for Digital Security and, more broadly, Digital Trust.”
