NEW DELHI : The Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Bombay alumni members and co-founders of BrowserStack Nakul Aggarwal and Ritesh Arora, have donated Rs 100 crore to improve the student living experience at their alma mater.
Both IIT Bombay alumni are from the computer science engineering (CSE) 2006 batch (Hostel 6).
According to the IIT Bombay statement, this is the largest contribution received by the institute to enhance student living facilities, and the donation will help to rebuild hostel 6, where the co-founders once resided. The donation will also be used to improve hostels 7, 8, and 21. Additionally, the contribution will be used to provide modern facilities to the IIT Bombay students.
Ritesh Arora the CEO and co-founder of BrowserStack said: "IIT Bombay shaped our vision and gave us the foundation to build BrowserStack into a global tech leader. Through this contribution, we're not just rebuilding hostels—we're investing in environments where the next generation of tech leaders can collaborate, ideate and push boundaries."
"The engineering talent coming out of IIT Bombay has been transforming the global tech landscape for decades. My journey from Hostel 6 to building a global tech company showed me how powerful the right environment is for nurturing innovation. This contribution is personal for us— we're simply giving back to the institution that showed us what's possible when talent meets opportunity," said Nakul Aggarwal the CTO and co-founder of BrowserStack.
