Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) [0], Indian Institue of Management - Ahmedabad [1], and (the not so known) Physical Research Laboratory [3], premier institutions in India, all of them founded by the same person - Vikram Sarabhai. Each of them stood the test of time.

Given the situation of all other government run institutions in India, ISRO is truly a marvel. Maybe "it's genuinely difficult to mess things up"!
