Dr. Sushant Rajput stands out as a rare blend of corporate leader, author, mentor, and thought leader whose career reflects both professional excellence and deep personal purpose. With over two decades of experience across the IT and ITES industries, he has built a journey that moves seamlessly from technology and finance to leadership, literature, and human development.
Currently serving as Vice President at eClerx Services Ltd., Dr. Rajput leads business development, solutioning, and transformation initiatives, playing a critical role in shaping strategic growth. His professional path has been anything but linear. Beginning with a foundation in Computer Science, he transitioned through Investment Banking Operations and Business Development before evolving into an author and mentor whose work now impacts professionals, students, and leaders alike.
Over the years, Dr. Rajput has held key managerial and leadership roles at globally respected organizations, including HCL Technologies, Société Générale, Cognizant Technology Solutions, and Deutsche Bank. Alongside his corporate responsibilities, he has remained deeply committed to education, serving as a Visiting Faculty and Corporate Mentor at various MBA institutions. In these roles, he actively guides students on career clarity, professional readiness, and essential life skills, areas often overlooked in formal education.
Dr. Rajput’s journey as an author did not begin with a publishing contract or a structured roadmap. Instead, it emerged quietly from lived experiences, unanswered questions, and the emotional weight of a demanding corporate life. Writing often took place late at night, in the margins of professional commitments, accompanied by rejection, self-doubt, and long silences from publishers. Yet the persistence in putting lived truth on paper never faded. For him, writing became less about recognition and more about responsibility, giving voice to thoughts and struggles many experience but rarely articulate, especially during the early and uncertain stages of professional and personal life.
This philosophy is reflected in his books. His debut, I Wish Someone Told Me This Before My First Job, was shaped by years of mentoring young professionals and observing the stark gap between academic success and workplace reality. The book addresses unspoken rules, early failures, emotional shocks, and practical lessons that are rarely taught but deeply felt. Upon its release, it found its audience quietly but powerfully, resonating with first-time professionals, MBA students, and early-career employees. Readers saw their own unspoken struggles reflected in its pages, leading to its recognition as an Amazon Bestseller and establishing it as a trusted, practical guide for those stepping into the corporate world.
His second book, Mindful Momentum: Navigating Procrastination and Overthinking, emerged from a deeply personal phase marked by inner conflict and the need to slow down, reflect, and rebuild focus. Rooted in lived experience rather than abstract theory, the book explores mindfulness, inner discipline, and sustainable progress in an age defined by speed, pressure, and constant noise. Readers did not merely consume the book; they connected with it emotionally. Many described it as grounding, timely, and deeply human, particularly for professionals facing burnout and self-doubt. Its impact was affirmed by strong reader reviews, organic word-of-mouth, and prestigious honors, including the Sahitya Sparsh Award for Productivity and Time Management.
Dr. Rajput is currently working on his third book, Courage Within: Indian Tales of Grit and Values, which is scheduled for publication by MARK-FLY PUBLISHERS. This work is inspired by a deeply rooted belief that values such as resilience, ethics, and courage must be planted early, before life tests individuals, not after it breaks them. Together, his three books form interconnected chapters of a single journey shaped by struggle, reflection, and the conviction that honest words written with purpose eventually reach those who need them most.
Beyond literature, Dr. Rajput’s contributions have earned him wide recognition. He has received multiple national and international awards, including honorary doctorates, global leadership honors, and literary excellence awards. His work and journey have been extensively covered by leading media platforms. Fortune India featured him as a “Leader Rising Each Year” in 2025, while Forbes India profiled him as a visionary leader. Business Today and India Today listed him among the Inspiring Personalities, with additional coverage across Open Magazine, Outlook India, Hindustan Times, Zee News, Fox Story India, and The Literature Times.
Through his leadership roles, books, talks, and mentoring, Dr. Sushant Rajput continues to empower individuals to overcome mental barriers, build meaningful momentum, and live with intentionality, proving that authenticity, guided by purpose, leaves a far more lasting imprint than hype or titles ever could.
