ISB receives CSR gift of ₹30 Crores from Ramoji Foundation

The School received a significant boost to its infrastructure efforts with a major CSR gift of ₹30 crores from the Ramoji Foundation. The generous contribution will support a state-of-the-art 430-seater auditorium coming up at ISB’s Hyderabad campus, as part of the Executive Centre.

The new facility will enhance ISB’s capacity to host international conferences, research seminars, distinguished lectures, and other major academic events—strengthening the School’s role as a hub for global thought leadership.

Harish Manwani, Chairperson of the ISB Board, noted, “The largesse of our donors has played an important role in ISB’s ability to stay true to its vision of being a world-class institution for learning and research. We are grateful for this contribution from Ramoji Foundation that will go a long way in sustaining the top-notch infrastructure that enables ISB in this endeavour.”

Echoing the sentiment, Dean Madan Pillutla said, “ISB’s history has been replete with philanthropic support, and this has helped the School thrive. The generous gift by Ramoji Foundation will significantly aid in the growth of the School and ensure that we continue to offer world-class learning experiences.”

Ch. Kiron, Trustee of Ramoji Foundation, added, “This gift helps us honour Ramoji Rao Garu’s memory by aiding the Indian School of Business in further developing world-class facilities, including an auditorium that will be a focal point for academic deliberations and exchange of knowledge. We believe that this will help facilitate a stronger economy and a world-class Bharat, thus serving as an enduring testament to ISB’s standing as a global B-school.”
