After living in India until the age of eighteen, Rohan moved to the United States to pursue his undergraduate studies at Washington and Lee University. Since graduating, Rohan has worked as an analyst at an investment bank, a consultant to an urban public school system and an economic policy researcher at a think tank. Before starting his MBA he spent three months working with a microfinance institution in Cambodia.

Rohan first visited Darden as an undergraduate and loved the school. While exploring business school options, he came back to Grounds to meet Darden students, faculty and staff and knew he had found the right school for himself. He is now a very proud member of the Darden Class of 2014, soaking in Darden’s unique traditions and teaching methods including First Coffee, the case study method and learning team.

Rohan enjoys writing and is very excited to have been selected as a Darden Student Blogger. He spent his junior year abroad in London where he maintained a blog. At his think tank job he published op-eds in Forbes, National Review, Real Clear Markets, The Daily Caller and The Diplomat, among many other outlets. He is happy to have this opportunity to continue writing and share his Darden experience with prospective and current students, faculty, family and friends.   

In the little spare time that he gets from the crazy schedule of a Darden FY, Rohan enjoys exploring all that Charlottesville has to offer and playing basketball, tennis and running.
