In 2005, he returned to Malaysia to work as a Management Consultant before joining elc as a Business Development Manager in 2007. Having served the school since 2007, Mr. Rajan comes with a wealth of experience involving many of the non-academic aspects of running a school. He will work with the Board of Directors and the SMC to ensure that they are well-equipped and positioned to meet the Schools’ goals while continuing to cement the School’s reputation as a leading educational institution.
