@iamrajivrana Know Rajiv Rana…….
Degree encompasses talent not, but just to let you know, the diplomas that hangs in his writing room read: MBA in Risk Crisis and Disaster Management & PhD Music. Bread came by becoming an insurance consultant and surveyor for M/S Hero Honda Group and its ancillaries (1999-2007). Butter came when he started his own import and export house (2007-2010) but contentment came when he started a love affair with words (2010- forever).
