About Rajat:
I am a highly motivated individual. I love meeting new people and getting to know their stories. I love helping people and motivating others around me. I am also an adrenaline junkie and love to spend my time outdoors. In my spare time, I am a graphic designer, and I have been a numismatist since I was eight years old.
Proudest Accomplishment:
My proudest accomplishment so far is helping three of my close friends in college quit smoking. It was quite a challenge, but I am not one to shy away from challenges. I motivated them, kept a check on them, helped them through their addiction and accepted a pizza as my reward for doing so.
Why did you choose the MSBA Program?
I love solving problems. I wanted to apply my quantitative skills to a field where I was challenged on a daily basis. The field of Analytics happens to be one of the most challenging and amazing fields to be working in. My engineering background taught me how to define and structure a problem, so I applied to the MSBA program in order to become better at analysing problems.
What are you most looking forward to in your program?
I am looking forward to becoming a better version of myself. I hope to become more self-confident, and I am looking forward to making lasting connections with the people around me and adding value to their life.
