Indian social entrepreneur Gajender Sharma has won one of the world's top awards for business school graduates. The MBA Student of the Year is staged by the international business education body, the Association of MBAs (AMBA) and is open to entrants from over 150 business schools in 69 countries.
Sharma, who is now working at Tokyo-based management consultancy, AT Kearney, took his MBA at HEC in France, Europe’s top ranked business school, after a degree in mechanical engineering in Delhi. Sharma is also setting up a charitable organisation called Positive Drive, which is aimed at giving children in developing countries access to education by helping their parents find jobs.
“Education can totally change your life and access to it shouldn't depend on the economic situation of the family,” Sharma said.
