After completing B. Com. from Mangalore University, Rajesh pursued additional technical training in computers & accounting. Immediately after, he worked as an accountant at the MYRADA head office for a good 5 years. Subsequently, he moved on to Pratham Books as their Assistant Finance Manager from 2017 to 2021. Since January 2022, Rajesh has been with Samvada as the Assistant Manager in the Accounts Department. His knowledge and experience of accounting for non-profits and problem-solving skills makes him just the right fit. 

While numbers are what Rajesh deals with at work, he stays away from them during leisure time. His love for cricket is not limited to just watching matches on the screens- weekends are for playing the sport! MS Dohni is his all-time-favorite cricketer. While he will watch the man play in any form of cricket, he is also reluctantly accepting that his options are fast running out. Rajesh enjoys cooking. He associates the Monsoon season with agriculture and with making time to work in the fields back home- home being Karkala, Karnataka. Being home brings him great joy and he jumps at any opportunity to visit.
