I am contributing $5 million towards the school at IIT Delhi where I studied. The name of the school has not been decided yet," said Khosla, partner in the Melno Park (California)-based venture fund Kleiner, Perkins, Caufield and Byers.
"The curriculum and coarse structure for the school are being worked out by the IIT faculty," Khosla, here on a personal visit, said.
An alumnus of the IIT where he pursued a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering, Khosla was a co-founder of Daisy Systems and the founding chief executive officer of Sun Microsystems.
On the issue of micro-credit, he said he wanted to replicate the success of Bangladesh's Grameen Bank in India and fund tiny enterprises in small towns and villages.
"One of the institutions I am contributing to is Share in Hyderabad. There are two-three others I am talking to and the discussions are in various stages," said Pune-born Khosla, who went to St Mary's School here.
