Bangalore: Rajat Gupta, the former director of Goldman Sachs who turned out to be fraudster has become the hottest topic for discussion. This corporate leader who spoiled years of hard work for some additional bucks will now serve as a perfect role model for people who look out for a shortcut to become filthy rich.

Rajat, the managing director of management consultancy McKinsey & Company, was recognized as the first Indian born CEO of a global corporation. He served the firm with full determination and sincerity for nine long years and during his tenure the company was successful in starting its branches in 23 new countries and has also doubled its consultant base. Apart from being an exemplary successful businessman, Rajat was a philanthropist focusing on diverse areas such as education, global health, and global business.

The brilliance and unique talent of Rajat is understood with one simple example-he was ranked 15th in the country in the entrance exam conducted by Indian Institutes of Technology.
