Tandons’ Magnificent Philanthropy

Mr Ranjan Tandon, is an engineer by training and a graduate of the Harvard Business School. He is founder and chair of Libra Advisors, a hedge fund he founded in 1990 that is now a family office. Engineering was only recently restored to NYU after a 40-year absence when NYU merged with Polytechnic University in 2014. Since affiliating, the university has invested approximately USD 100 million in engineering, with improvements in facilities, faculty hiring, admissions, and fundraising and has also established the related Center for Urban Science and Progress (CUSP).

This gift will accelerate the School of Engineering’s academic advancement, enabling it to develop new areas of strength in engineering and to hire additional faculty.
