>>>This man's father was in Indian foreign service. He went to high school abroad.

He was supposed to be a poor Indian citizen?

Talking about his son, Govindarajan says Raghuram’s achievements have overshadowed the other well-qualified siblings. All his three sons are IIT graduates with PhDs to boot and all started their careers with the Tatas.

Raghuram’s younger sibling Mukund Rajan, a PhD from Oxford and a Rhodes scholar, is Tata brand custodian and chief ethics officer of Tata Sons, and is from the Tata Administrative Service, which Raghuram, too, joined for a couple of months before quitting for his PhD in MIT.

The elder son, Srinivas, who has a twin sister Jayashree, is a PhD in materials science from the Colorado School of Mines, who worked in Tata Steel before moving to the US. Jayashree, married to a bureaucrat, teaches in Delhi. Academic excellence runs in the third generation as well. Jayashree’s daughter is an MBA from IIM-A, Raghuram’s daughter is at Yale and Srinivas’ son has enrolled for a dual degree at Wharton.


Genetics at play or as children of a diplomat, had a privileged schooling in elite schools similar to HPS? Are they Tambrahms, btw?

Are you kidding...what he said a few days back is even more hilarious...

There was a time, he said, when he did not have a blazer and used to go to school wearing a sweater.

I have seen such lying to be a fashion statement - almost feeling guilty to be privileged - as one moves up ones career ladder. This is more so in positions that has a public face.
