The Foundation received its status as a tax-exempt organization from the Internal Revenue Service in 2006.

“It has been a great honor to have served as President of the IITDEF Board of Directors,” said organizational founder Rishi Bhargav. “I am incredibly proud of our accomplishments over the past decade and a half. We have helped alumni across the globe through our partnership with IIT Delhi and the Alumni Association. We have built one of the most effective and cost-efficient nonprofit organizations in the world. I am confident in our future and in Sanjiv’s leadership as we continue to grow and expand our impact.”

“I am deeply honored to have been appointed as President of the IITDEF,'' said Goyal. “IITDEF is uniquely qualified to help bring about IIT Delhi’s mission to foster innovation and help future generations. As we grow and mature in life, I believe that we increasingly come face-to-face with the responsibilities of serving as custodians for the next generation. Education is the only way to truly grow and inculcate harmony in society. I am here, and honored, to serve my alma mater. I look forward to leveraging our strategic network of alumni, foundations, international nonprofits, and other groups and stakeholders who, along with our Board, stand united in our shared desire to improve education and foster innovation. Ultimately, this is a significant moment in the history of our organization, and I do not take this responsibility lightly. I am deeply grateful to Rishi Bhargav for his vision, dedication, and passion, all of which has led to the creation of one of the most impactful nonprofits.”
