Rajan topped all three levels of the CA exams in his first attempts—Foundation (July 2021), Intermediate (May 2022), and Final (May 2025)—a remarkable feat achieved by very few. Despite his success, Rajan maintains a calm demeanour.

He admits to aiming for a top rank but says he focused on giving his best, not chasing fame. From theoretical learning, he moved to applied finance as an industrial trainee at Boston Consulting Group, gaining professional insights that enriched his studies 

Rather than cutting corners, Rajan stuck to ICAI’s original materials, mastering every concept through repeated study and mock tests. He starts his day between 4–5 AM, studies for up to 12 hours while ensuring he gets eight hours of sleep—highlighting discipline with self-care. When burnout hits, he unwinds with Harry Potter novels and The Big Bang Theory—excellent stress-relievers that reflect his eclectic interests

Keen on blending traditional finance with future tech, he takes online courses on blockchain in his spare time—underlining his forward-thinking mindset 

Rajan’s ambition goes beyond corporate roles—he aspires to create social impact, proving that real success includes community contribution .
