We are greatly confident of the lasting, beneficial outcome of our donation," said Susmita Bagchi.

This is an exciting opportunity for us to collaborate. The IISc's global reputation and network will attract outstanding talent to create breakthroughs in the research and delivery of medicine.

We are grateful to be a part of a new journey in the history of India's most respected research institution."
