Rahul Mehta Funds Eight Schools Across Six IITs

Rahul Mehta, who funded eight schools across six IITs, was able to pursue his US education in 1979 after his parents sold their gold and silver.

Mehta built four companies and achieved four exits without relying on venture capital funding throughout his career.

He chose to focus his philanthropy on education, specifically targeting IITs to invest in India's intellectual capital rather than traditional monetary donations.
