Chhavi Rajawat-Session Careers: Believe in Yourself

With an undergraduate degree from Lady Shri Ram College in Delhi and an MBA from the Indian Institute of Modern Management in Pune, Chhavi Rajawat could have had a dream corporate career had she chosen. And for five years, she did. Till she decided to give it up and fight the Sarpanch elections from Soda, 60 km from Jaipur in Rajasthan, her ancestral village of 3,200 voters. Whether it is changing the mindset of the villagers towards the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme, or towards women, Rajawat is bringing her precise management principles to the often chaotic world of grassroots politics. She also looks after a hotel that the family owns in Jaipur and the numerous horses that are part of her riding school.
