Toronto-based IITian Vasudev Chanchlani has given a million dollars to help start an Indian policy centre at a Canadian university. Canada's University of Waterloo will launch the Chanchlani India Policy Centre June 8. A multi-millionaire IIT Kanpur graduate, Chanchlani runs the Sigma Group of companies and VC Capital Management here. The Chanchlani Centre "will undertake applied and topical policy research related to the Canada-India relationship and collaborate with governments, universities, and community organisations across the country in promoting stronger ties between India and Canada".
