From Silent Start to Spotlight: The Transformational Journey of Sushant Rajput.

New Delhi, May 24, 2025 — A story of resilience, rediscovery, and relentless pursuit of purpose is making headlines across the country—and it belongs to none other than Sushant Rajput, a name now synonymous with inspiration, impact, and integrity.

From a reserved, inquisitive 12-year-old who once walked into the gates of an Army school with quiet curiosity, Sushant’s journey has evolved into a remarkable testament to self-discovery. The discipline and values of a military education instilled in him the foundations of resilience. But more importantly, it ignited a deep love for books and unearthed a natural gift—storytelling.

Dreams in Uniform, Destiny in Words

In his teenage years, surrounded by the ethos of service and patriotism, Sushant dreamt of donning the uniform himself. While sincere attempts to join the Defence Forces were made, fate had other plans. The dream faded, but a greater calling awaited.

The Detour That Defined the Path

In his early twenties, Rajput pursued a degree in Computer Science, led by a fascination for technology. But as semesters passed and lines of code multiplied, a different truth surfaced—his true language wasn’t code. It was creativity.

This realization led him to pivot toward marketing, blending his analytical background with creative passion through an MBA. This shift was more than academic—it was foundational. It charted the path for a future that would eventually combine corporate precision with emotional intelligence.

Climbing the Corporate Ladder, Heart in the Creative Clouds

His professional beginnings were rooted in Investment Banking Operations. But soon, marketing came calling—and Rajput answered. Over the years, he honed his expertise across global MNCs, ultimately rising to the prestigious role of Vice President at eClerx, a global leader in business process management.

Despite corporate success, his storyteller’s soul remained ever active. Blogs, workshops, keynote talks, and mentoring sessions became his parallel world—one driven by purpose and passion.

A Literary Star Is Born

In 2024, Rajput debuted as an author with I Wish Someone Told Me This Before My First Job—a practical, heartfelt guide that quickly climbed charts and resonated with readers across the globe. The book became an Amazon Bestseller, earned him the Bharat Vibhushan Puraskar for “Best Self-Help Book of the Year,” and the prestigious Rabindranath Tagore Literature Award.

Sushant Rajput was honored with the Rabindranath Tagore Literature Award by DRDC for his outstanding contribution to contemporary self-help literature.

Less than a year later, in 2025, he followed up with a second book—solidifying his voice in the genre of self-help and professional growth.

A Voice on the Global Stage

Adding another milestone to his inspiring journey, Sushant took the TEDx stage at Ravenshaw University, Odisha, delivering a powerful talk that encouraged the audience to challenge conformity and embrace their unique journey. His words struck a chord, reinforcing his position not just as a corporate leader or author—but as a changemaker.

A Mentor Beyond the Page

Today, apart from steering corporate strategies, Sushant serves as a visiting faculty member and mentor, guiding the youth through their career crossroads with authenticity and empathy. His ability to translate personal experience into professional wisdom makes him a beloved figure in academic and professional circles alike.
