However, he was committed to completing his schooling. In a conversation with us on a Sunday Brunch episode, Rahul Gandhi tells us how he began his career with the Monitor Group, a strategy consulting firm in London, after earning his graduate degree. When Kamiya asks him if he remembers his first paycheck, he says, “At the time, it was a lot. It felt strange.”

It was two thousand pounds to three thousand pounds. The Congress leader was 24 years old and did a proper corporate job like a regular graduate.
