IIM-A alumni Raghunandan G, Vishwavir Ahuja and Aprameya R have announced significant infrastructure-funding support to their alma mater.
Conservation/restoration and upgrade of CR1 Classroom in Heritage Campus is being supported by RBL Bank, as announced by Vishwavir Ahuja (PGP 1981); MD & CEO, RBL Bank. “RBL Bank is proud to be associated with IIM-A. RBL has significantly benefitted from the quality education imparted at IIM-A through several IIM-A alumni in the senior management team. RBL has always focused on excellence in the banking industry and is delighted to make a contribution of ₹2.5 crore for shared vision to support education excellence at IIM-A,” said Ahuja.
At IMDC in IIM-A New Campus, CR2 upgradation to a state-of-art facility and maintenance is being supported by Raghunandan G and Aprameya R (PGP 2007 & 2008; both co-founders of TaxiForSure) with funding of ₹2.5 crore each.
“Contributing to IIM-A is a proud moment for us as we owe so much of our success to this institute. Having graduated from this institute, opened doors for us through our entrepreneurial journey. We could connect with IIM-A alumni in the start-up eco-system who were strong guides during our TaxiForSure story and in fact, were our source of strength and also the best critics to ensure that we always did the right thing. Giving back to alma mater was top of the agenda as we consolidated our venture. It’s a matter of pride as we facilitate to create state-of-art facility at CR2 IMDC to support the institute’s focus on excellence in teaching and training the change agents in enterprises,” said Raghunandan and Aprameya.
Supporting infrastructure goes a long way in the institute’s endeavour for capacity building and quality education. “Alumni are a source of strength for the institute. They contribute in many different ways to support the institute’s priorities. IIM-A deeply values their meaningful and significant contributions,” said Ashish Nanda, Director of IIM-A.
