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.

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.

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.

Dr. Romesh Wadhwani
Electrical Engineering, B. Tech. - 1969
Padma Shri awardee Dr. Romesh Wadhwani is a renowned entrepreneur, technologist, and philanthropist. His journey began with a B.Tech. degree in Electrical Engineering from IIT Bombay in 1969, a stepping stone that led him to the United States, where he earned his master’s and Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from Carnegie Mellon University. Dr. Wadhwani’s academic prowess was further recognized with an honorary doctorate from the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay in August 2018.
Over his distinguished career, Dr. Wadhwani has built several successful technology companies, each leaving a significant mark in their respective industries. He is the founder, chairman, and CEO of SAIGroup, a fast-growing operating group of leading AI companies that deliver a new generation of advanced AI solutions to transform the enterprise. SAIGroup companies focus on driving revenue growth and operational excellence for customers in their vertical sectors, including retail, CPG, life sciences, payer/provider, manufacturing and process industries, defense, financial services, and media.
Before founding SAIGroup, Dr. Wadhwani was the founder and CEO of Symphony Technology, a strategic private equity firm that builds great software and technology-enabled services companies. Dr. Wadhwani founded STG in 2002, growing it from a startup to $2.5 billion in combined revenue and 15,000 employees. Dr. Wadhwani was also the founder and CEO of Aspect Development Inc., a B2B software firm. Aspect Development was acquired in 2000 for $9.3 billion, the largest software acquisition at the time.
Philanthropy is central to Dr. Wadhwani’s life. He established the Wadhwani Foundation in 2001, a not-for-profit organization that aims to accelerate economic development by driving job creation through large-scale entrepreneurship, innovation, skilling, and government digital transformation initiatives. The Foundation today is scaling its impact across 15+ countries in Asia, Africa, and Latin America through innovative programs that leverage the latest AI Technology and expansive global networks to democratize access to world-class resources, improving livelihoods and changing lives.
Dr. Wadhwani and his brother Sunil Wadhwani also established the Wadhwani Institute for AI (WIAI) for Social Good in Mumbai in 2018, a research institute and global hub for developing AI solutions for social good in public health, education, skilling, job creation, and infrastructure. The institute was awarded the Google Prize in 2019 for its innovative initiatives. In 2003, Dr. Wadhwani, along with his brother, was recognized by Time Magazine as one of the 100 most influential people in AI.
Reflecting on his commitment, Dr Wadhwani remarked, “I’m giving away 80 percent of my wealth. I don’t have to; no one’s forcing me to. I’m doing it voluntarily. A significant part of that is going back to India. Why am I doing it? Simply because I feel it’s right.”
Dr. Wadhwani’s deep connection to his alma mater, IIT Bombay, is evident in his philanthropic efforts. This commitment led to establishing The Wadhwani Electronic Lab (WEL) and the Wadhwani Research Centre for Bioengineering (WRCB) at IIT Bombay through the Wadhwani Foundation.
The Wadhwani Electronics Lab has evolved from a teaching lab to a development hub for student-led projects, fostering innovation and practical learning across multiple institutes in India.
