Rajagopal (professor and researcher)

Rajagopal was born in Jagdalpur, Chhattisgarh and received his masters in economics and a doctorate in marketing from Ravishankar University in India.

[1][3] During that time, he wrote books and journal articles, which led to an invitation from the Tec de Monterrey to join its faculty in 2000 as a professor of marketing.

[3][4] He believes that marketing is core to the development of “all societies, economy, and grown of nations.”[3] Rajagopal's interest towards Hindi poetry has been growing since his schooling days.

Belonging to a non-Hindi speaking family,[citation needed] his interest in Hindi literature was nurtured by his mentors at school and regional poets.

In 2009 he was listed as one of the 2000 Outstanding Intellectuals of the 21st century at the International Biographical Centre in Cambridge and made a fellow of the Institute of Operations Management in the United Kingdom.
