About me: I’m Rajat, a student on the One-year MBA programme at London Business School, with nearly eight years of experience in the public and development sector. My work has spanned mobilising capital across retail, consumer goods and social infrastructure, helping companies assess the economic feasibility of investments in developing and emerging markets within India.
Working in environments where mandates were rarely clear and stakeholders were many pushed me to develop strong problem-solving instincts. That experience, and the desire to apply it in a more structured, commercially rigorous setting, is what brought me to London Business School.
I’m passionate about development finance, sustainable investments and the future of impact consulting, particularly how capital can be deployed more effectively in emerging markets.
Outside of London Business School, I’m an avid traveller with a keen interest in how emerging economies, especially India, are evolving as destinations for sustainable investment.
I chose London Business School for its truly global community. If you’re considering the programme, especially from a non-traditional or public sector background, I’d love to connect.
Three topics I can be approached about: Pursuing an MBA after a career in the non-profit space; impact consulting; being an international student at London Business School.
