" While the year 2009 was a landmark year for Alesco, we also had a setback.
 Sir Raj Singhji Dungarpur, Founder Chairman of Alesco Business School passed away in Mumbai on 12 September 2009 after a long sickness. He was also a well known cricket player, former Board President of BCCI and former President of the Cricket Club of India. "

Sir Dungarpur was a well known personality in the international cricket world. He was also interested and was a keen participant in anything to do with education. It was under his guidance that the foundation stone of Alesco was laid and he willing accepted to be the Founder Chairman of Alesco Business School. Inspite of his sickness he was leading and piloting Alesco Business School continuously. To quote him about IMBA, he said “Your time at Alesco will be best years of your life. This is your chance to redefine your sense of who you are and who you want to be.”

Raj Singhji was the very essence of compassion, of duty, of style, of beauty. He always said that if you want to be successful, be passionate and dedicated to your work, no matter how small or big that may be. His great kindness and compassion will always be remembered. Royalty personified, his prime passion in life was to do everything at its best. Affectionately called 'Rajbhai' in the fraternity, he will always live on in our hearts.

Today is our chance to say ‘thank you’ for the way he brightened our lives. No comfort is quite enough to replace the loss. Alesco and everyone will deeply miss Raj Singhji.

Late Shri Raj Singhji Dungarpur

Founder Chairman
Alesco Business School
