Oliver Wyman appoints Rajat Modwel as partner in India

MUMBAI: Oliver Wyman has announced the appointment of Rajat Modwel as partner in its government and public sector practice in India. With over 30 years at the crossroads of public administration and global consulting, Modwel brings a wealth of experience in shaping growth strategies, leading large-scale transformations, and building lasting institutional capabilities.

Rajat joins at a time when Indian governments are prioritising digital transformation, infrastructure-led growth, and sustainable development. His career spans advising on transport, urban infrastructure, state finances, education, environment and energy, tourism, and investment attraction.

Speaking on his new role, Rajat said, “India is one of the world’s largest economies at a time of global uncertainty. This creates a unique opportunity to drive high growth while investing across industry, agriculture, and services. Equally important is building world-class infrastructure, stronger social sectors like health and education, and a skilled workforce powered by digital innovation and sustainability. Joining Oliver Wyman allows me to help leaders turn these ambitions into real, measurable outcomes.”

Oliver Wyman India head Sumit Sarawgi added, “Governments face a once-in-a-generation shift driven by infrastructure spending and rising citizen expectations. The challenge is not just policy design but execution at scale and speed. Rajat’s experience will help build enduring public sector capabilities for our clients in India and beyond.”

Rajat began his career in the Indian Administrative Service in the Rajasthan cadre, handling district administration, state planning, and finance roles. He managed civic systems, led rural and urban initiatives, supported state elections, and evaluated public expenditure priorities across social and economic sectors – experience that continues to inform his approach to driving impact at scale.
