IIM Ahmedabad just raised Rs 7.5 crore from alumni Raghunandan G, Vishwavir Ahuja and Aprameya.

While conservation, restoration and upgrade of the classrooms in the Heritage Campus is being supported by RBL Bank (Vishwavir Ahuja is the MD & CEO of RBL bank), CR2 upgradation to state-of-art facility and maintenance at IMDC in the IIM-A New Campus is being supported by co-founders of TaxiForSure — Raghunandan G and Aprameya R (PGP 2007 and 2008) — with funding of Rs 2.5 crore each.

“RBL has significantly benefited from the quality education imparted at IIMA through several IIMA Alumni in the senior management team. RBL has always focused on excellence in the banking industry and is delighted to make a contribution of Rs 2.5 Crore for shared vision to support education excellence at IIM-A,” said Vishwavir Ahuja.

Meanwhile, IIM-A director Prof Ashish Nanda said - “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.”

“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 great institute, opened doors for us through our entrepreneurial journey. We could connect with IIMA alumni in the startup eco system who were strong guides during our TaxiForSure story and in fact, were our source of strength and also the worst critics to ensure that we always did the right thing,” said Raghunandan G and Aprameya R.
