We are proud to announce a transformational £15 million / US$20 million gift from alumni Anjuli Rao MiFFT1999 and Raj Rao MiFFT1998 - one of the most significant philanthropic contributions in London Business School’s history. Their generosity will establish our first endowed research fund, an endowed faculty chair, and scholarships for MBA and MiF students, expanding access, excellence and global impact. In recognition of this extraordinary gift, the iconic Plowden Building will be renamed the Anjuli and Raj Rao Building, placing their legacy at the very heart of our campus. Dean Sergei Guriev highlights the gift's significance: “I am incredibly grateful for this extraordinary £15 million gift to the LBS community. Anjuli and Raj Rao’s story is the story of our School. Combining a flagship scholarship, an endowed chair and a pioneering research fund, their gift strengthens our ability to educate the most talented students, attract outstanding faculty, and produce research that shapes the future of business and society. We are proud to name a building in their honour.” Anjuli and Raj, we are proud to be part of your story, and we are honoured that you are part of ours.
