the GMAT through revolutionary teaching methods that have produced more verified 700+ scores than any other prep company globally.\u00a0 Under his leadership since 2010, e-GMAT has helped over 50,000 students secure admissions and $200+ million in scholarships, with students achieving a remarkable 55% of all 700+ scores reported on GMAT Club in 2021.\u00a0 Armed with a Master of Technology from IIT Delhi and an MBA from Babson College, Rajat brings unique technical expertise, holding five patents from his engineering background at companies like Honeywell, where he grew a wireless business from $2M to $25M. \u00a0 His GMAT specialization centers on innovative teaching methodologies he personally developed, including the revolutionary \"pre-thinking\" approach for Critical Reasoning that systematically trains students to analyze arguments and anticipate assumptions before examining answer choices. \u00a0 Driven by a mission to \"democratize test prep education by leveraging technology,\" Rajat left his corporate career to create what he calls \"a private tutor experience at the price of a book,\" combining his technologist mindset with data-driven personalization that emphasizes active learning through immediate feedback and systematic mistake analysis.\u00a0 His methodology has consistently produced hundreds of successes in the 99th percentile range, including a perfect 805 score achievement and dramatic improvements like students jumping 110 points in just 20-25 days, with e-GMAT delivering \"10\u00d7 more\" scores of 700+ than average prep companies.\u00a0 Having delivered over 5,000 hours of live instruction, Rajat frequently mentors students personally, often analyzing individual performance and creating tailored study plans. He actively contributes to the GMAT community through his e-GMAT blog articles, live webinars, and appearances on platforms like the MBA Admissions Podcast, sharing strategies that have democratized access to elite GMAT preparation globally.\u00a0","sameAs":["https:\/\/e-gmat.com","www.linkedin.com\/in\/rajat-sadana","https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@egmat\/videos"],"award":["#2-ranked GMAT expert globally on GMAT Club","99th percentile GMAT scorer","Five patents holder"],"knowsAbout":["GMAT preparation","Critical Reasoning","Quantitative Reasoning","Data Interpretation","Test prep education","Educational technology","Business strategy","Artificial Intelligence","Data-backed strategies"],"jobTitle":"CEO and Co-founder","worksFor":"e-GMAT","url":"https:\/\/e-gmat.com\/blogs\/author\/rajate-gmat-com\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/e-gmat.com\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27123"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/e-gmat.com\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/e-gmat.com\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/e-gmat.com\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/72805"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/e-gmat.com\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=27123"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/e-gmat.com\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27123\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/e-gmat.com\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/27129"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/e-gmat.com\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=27123"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/e-gmat.com\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=27123"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/e-gmat.com\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=27123"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
