History
5. Education Society. They were closely
associated with Wrangler G. S. Mahajani,
who had served as the Principal of
Fergusson College in Pune and later, as
the Vice Chancellor of Pune University.

E. Society that a new institution be formed
to impart management education under its
aegis. Dr Doshi and Shri Shah not only
made large donations but also mobilized
funds from their friends and associates. It

up an institute outside the university, from
a point of view that the professional and
