Ajai Vikram Singh
Revenue secretary
Ajai Vikram Singh is the odd-man-out in every sense of the term. He is the first man since Javed Choudhury to be appointed revenue secretary from the post of special secretary.
Most of his predecessors underwent a secretarial stint in some other government department before being appointed the revenue secretary. S Narayan, for instance, went to the revenue department after serving as the petroleum secretary.
With three years to go before retirement, and a revenue secretaryship under his belt, sky is the limit for Singh.
But then there are certain hazards of being too successful too soon. Choudhary
