It seems as though Ashish Singh has been preparing for his current role for his entire professional life.
Singh, a Bain & Company partner, is opening the firm's first full-fledged consulting office in India; although the doors to the new Gurgaon office don't officially open until July, Singh's team began serving multinationals and India-based clients from the office earlier this year.
The office is close to Delhi, where Singh was raised. He eventually entered Harvard University, from which he graduated with honors. During summers, Singh would return to India and engage in his passion for trekking and mountain-climbing; he's topped 18,000-foot peaks and participated in expeditions to much higher mountains.
