He has been associated with ISB as an Executive Board member since its inception and as the Chairman of the Board since April 2011. Adi Godrej has been one of the leading supporters of the School in many ways including funding. The Pirojshah Godrej Foundation and the Godrej group, have also been engaged in supporting the School.

Professor Rajendra Srivastava welcomed and requested Adi Godrej to unveil the plaque christening the auditorium. Speaking on the occasion, Adi Godrej, said, “ISB today stands tall as an accomplished world class B school with several accomplishments to its credit. The School is also is a perfect example of how philanthropic initiatives can bring about impact making change. I take pride in being a part of ISB’s success story and will continue to support it in all its endeavours to make a positive impact in the years to come. Philanthropists and corporates, especially in India, must realise that world class excellence of this nature needs support and commitment of the highest level. We must be motivated to become active contributors to changes that have the potential to shape destinies of our people and country. The endowment level of some of the best institutions in the world is several folds higher than our institutions in India and I hope that Indian corporates, and individuals will embrace this practice soon.”

We have ambitious plans to become the preeminent provider of management education from India, to expand our collaboration with industry, and to do impactful research that is relevant to practice. It is critical for ISB to receive financial support to be able to accomplish this vision. I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Godrej Group for their contributions to the school over the past several years. Naming the Mohali auditorium as the ‘Godrej Auditorium’ is one way of expressing our gratitude for the sustained support and guidance that we have received from Adi Godrej.
ISB is the result of the collaboration between committed individuals, corporates and academics from around the world, who believe in its vision. The School is a nonprofit institution and relies on support from alumni, corporates, individuals, and foundations for its research and education activities.
ISB is committed to providing the highest recognition and stewardship standards to its supporters. Several of its infrastructures have been named to symbolise the importance of philanthropic contributions to its past and future success. The Bajaj Auto Library recognises the support from Mr. Rahul Bajaj and the Bajaj Group, and the Rameshwarlal Khemka Auditorium at the Hyderabad campus is a bestowal from the Khemka family, in memory of Mr. Rameshwarlal Khemka. Four of its lecture theatres (LTs) have been named as Max LT, Chatterjee LT , HUL LT and Vidya Hora LT, and the two dining halls as Bajaj Dining Hall and the Goel Dining Hall after their benefactors/patrons.
The Auditorium at Mohali holds a significant place on the campus. It has played host to some of the finest thought leaders across the world as a part of high profile conferences and visits. Some of the notable events held here include the two Progressive Punjab Summits, SMS International Conference and the ISB Leadership Summit.
