An evil plan, I say! Here is an outline (Kindly drop-in your suggestions) :-
1) I make loads of money.
2) Mathew and Sid also make loads of money. So do others who wish to move to jobs.
3) 10 years down the line, pool in cash and start a separate institute. Same entrance procedure. Start with only undergrad.
4) Provide better salary to lecturers. And, MUCH BETTER stipends to students.
5) Offer more flexibility to students in choosing their specialization viz pure/app maths, comp sc, stat, physics.
6) Arrange for them to receive excellent tutoring from other colleges as well , if needed.
7) Work along CMI lines and have an industry sponsored comp sc and applied maths departments (which will also ensure students have places to consider once they finish undergrad)
8) Use our contacts and encourage students to take up internships and gain work-experience.
9) Again pulling strings to place students with the best of the firms here or abroad (By that time, we probably be in a decent position in some firm ourselves - maybe partners :P)
10) It will be hard to implement it for first couple of years but once people start getting placed, the rest will fall in place. The entire motive is to provide a suitable environment to both - the ones who wish to be researchers and the once who wish to move to industry. And, a very suitable one as well!
11) I believe that our batch-mates/seniors/juniors/their contacts would be willing to join the place for we will ensure an environment conducive to fruitful research :)
11) But then we put money in it! What do we get out of it? :) It will be a totally dumb-ass move not to have a way to make more cash out of our cash. I have a plan. Somewhat. But not a good idea to put it on the blog.
So yeah! Thats a sort-of vague plan. I am sure, things will change over time. We will be able to improve on it. Maybe change a few things here and there. But this is the basic skeleton. And, I am not being altruistic. Its just a way to give students a better platform AND make money for ourselves.

Will I get a job teaching finite groups, combinatorics, and other interesting mathematics?
And, you guys should seriously consider affirmative action, ie., a quota for women. And maybe you could start it on the campus of some other big college or university... More of a normal atmosphere socially, you know!
@ Sonia:-
Thanks! We will see about the job ;)
@ Everyone:-
I think I meant a better version of ISI. I, honestly, would prefer starting from the scratch. The only reason why ISI CAN be lucrative is if they offer us the land and the building, which, they won't! So yeah!
@Shivam
I agree with you, applied math has been highly neglected at ISI. Which is sorta bad. e.g the application of Non-commutative geometry and AlgG into QFT and String theory is somewhat beautiful(I don't know enough to term this as beautiful but then enough to term it as somewhat beautiful) but ppl @ ISI prefer only the traditional way, i.e do pure math in a "non-canonical" way which they feel is more natural to them. That's kinnda sad... but with few seminar... one which is scheduled in Feb... which is a cognitive seminar is a big leap towards "a" change.
No females in the institute!
We had enough with Vaidehee et. al. ruining the name of ISI.
Only males.
HAHAHAHA!
I don't mind them being in the institute actually. Just that the likes of a certain kind shouldn't be part of the way things are run :)
Yeah certain kinds should certainly be not in the institute. Deepuda ka stats. kabhi jhoot nahin bolta. For a tiny little tail in the observation why should allow the whole bunch of them?
The distribution of females is bimodal with two variable height of their peaks and a deep trench where there are singularities.
Tail behavior is of interest but people are more interested in the peaks and the trench.
These are my basis of inference.
