Indrashil University is a state private university in Mehsana district, Gujarat, established through Gujarat Act No. 10 of 2017. It was created as a philanthropic initiative associated with Dr. Rajiv I. Modi in memory of his parents, Shri Indravadan Ambalal Modi and Smt. Shilaben Modi. The institution's founding narrative is closely linked with the legacy of Cadila Pharmaceuticals, whose roots date to 1951 under Indravadan A. Modi, widely associated with the growth of India's pharmaceutical industry. The university was conceived with a strong research and science orientation. Its academic structure includes programmes in sciences, engineering, technology and other professional fields, with particular attention to laboratory-based learning, biomedical and life-science research, data-oriented disciplines and industry interaction. The Central Library was established in 2017 alongside the university's academic launch and supports teaching and research with print and electronic resources. Indrashil University emphasizes the relationship between research, innovation and social relevance. That approach reflects the pharmaceutical and scientific legacy behind its establishment while allowing the institution to build programmes beyond pharmacy and life sciences. Faculty research profiles include work in chemistry, biosciences, computing and interdisciplinary scientific fields. Its development is therefore rooted in a 2017 statutory foundation but informed by an older family and industrial legacy in healthcare, research and entrepreneurship. The university continues to build a research-focused private higher-education environment in north Gujarat. The university's philanthropic founding model links academic development with the legacy of Indravadan and Shilaben Modi. Research laboratories and science-based programmes form a central part of its institutional identity. Established as a state private university through Gujarat Act No. 10 of 2017. Founded as a philanthropic initiative associated with Dr. Rajiv I. Modi. 1951 — Indravadan A. Modi and Shilaben Modi laid the foundations of the pharmaceutical legacy later associated with the university's founding story.
