Vaishnaw, an IAS officer-turned-politician, has over 15 years of experience in government and has also worked in the private sector with companies in India and abroad. He has now taken on the railways, communications and IT ministries.

The new Railway Minister orders the o cials to work in 2
shifts
By VARINDIA - 2021-07-11
Hours after taking charge as the new Railways Minister Ashwini
Vaishnaw ordered o cials and staffers in his o ce to work in two
shifts.
The rst shift will start at 7 am and end at 4 pm while the second
shift will start at 3 pm and end at 12 am in midnight, an order by
his o ce said on Thursday.
According to DJ Narain, ADG PR, Ministry of Railways, the order
has been issued only for MR cells (minister's o ce) and not
private or Railway staff, with immediate effect," Narain said.
The 50-year-old bureaucrat-turned-politician from Odisha was
inducted into the cabinet in Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s
Cabinet reshu e exercise nearly two years after he was elected to
the Rajya Sabha on a Bharatiya Janata Party ticket.
Vaishnaw, who is known to work till midnight, was allocated the
ministry of railways, the ministry of communications, and the
ministry of electronics and information technology.
Vaishnaw, an engineer by training, worked as an Indian
Administrative Service (IAS) o cer for over 15 years after getting
masters degree from the Indian Institute of Technology (Kanpur). He later went to Wharton University in the USA to pursue an MBA and after
some time after completing the course quit government service so that he could quickly pay off the loans.
On his return, after working for top rms, he set up his own automotive components manufacturing units in Gujarat and at one point, even lived
out of a container , as I wanted that factory to come out in record time.
