Deeply committed to social impact, RJ helped 300 rural women gain financial independence as a teenager. She integrated them into her father’s glove factory to repair and sell defective gloves, reducing waste and creating livelihoods. She also led a team that built schools in Nepal, improving the lives of hundreds of children. In college, she balanced academic excellence with action, earning multiple awards while leading initiatives on responsible leadership, sustainability, and ethical business. She also co-founded and led impactful programs within professional clubs, equipping peers with practical skills in finance, marketing, and consulting for the social sector. 

Professionally, RJ worked as a strategy consultant and later at a social impact firm, designing inclusive growth and economic development programs for underserved communities. Alongside this, she ran an education NGO that provided financial aid, mentoring, and career support, impacting thousands of students. She wanted to pursue an MBA with a clear goal of scaling her non-profit and increasing the impact of higher education on India’s youth. However, she needed guidance on articulating her vision for scale and impact.
