No current-year paid total verified.
Unknown is not zero.
Scope: Recipient reported prior personal grants. Period: Prior grants preceding the new contribution described on 20 June 2023; dates not itemized. As of: 2023-06-20. Remaining net worth: Unknown.

IIT Bombay directly attributes the prior INR 85 crore grants to Nandan Nilekani.
The article also says Nilekani has donated INR 315 crore, taking support to INR 400 crore. A contemporaneous MoU/new donation announcement is not used here as a fully reconciled cash-received record. The INR 85 crore prior-grants figure is the conservative example.
Recipient-attributed prior grants to one institution, not a complete lifetime total or independently audited payment ledger. A reporting-source USD approximation is shown for comparison. The separate new contribution and total-support figure are not added here without reconciling timing and receipts.
INR 850,000,000 ÷ (INR 3,150,000,000 / USD 38,500,000) ≈ USD 10,388,888.89
