2. NBDP- the beginning

caring, efficient, transparent and accountable.

Kennedy School of Government and a Global Leadership Fellow of Aspen Institute,

• On turning 40, he decided to leave the corporate world to engage with the issues of
Public Policy & Governance to fulfil his long held desire to make a difference through
'Good Governance & Inclusive Development'.
• Bringing a paradigm shift in the political discourse of India by providing credible
alternative to existing political parties and electoral candidates forms the corner
stone of Nav Bharat
• NBDP is determined to build a nation which respects human DIGNITY, believes in
EQUALITY, strives for HARMONY, aspires for EXCELLENCE & achieves it
SUSTAINABLY.
• Mahatma Gandhi is RK’s strongest influence in life and his quote “An ounce of
practice is worth more than tons of preaching” is a quality that is innate in RK; he is a
doer as much as he is a thinker
