It's this sense of belonging that motivates Rajesh to push the boundaries of what's possible, both professionally and creatively.

How would you describe your experience as an Equifax associate?

It can be encapsulated in two words: motivating and supportive. I attribute this positive experience to the pervasive culture that Equifax cultivates within each of its offices. The leadership team here is always eager to listen to new and diverse ideas and offer guidance. These interactions have broadened my perspective and introduced me to new dimensions of thinking.

How do you keep your team engaged and motivated in the workplace?

I strive to keep my team motivated by providing them with guidance and mentorship, fostering innovative thinking, and by entrusting them with opportunities to shine. My approach is to instill a change in their mindsets and lead by example, creating a supportive and challenging work environment that encourages growth for each team member.

Why should others consider a career at Equifax India?

Equifax is an ideal workplace for individuals at any level of expertise, from novices exploring theoretical concepts to advanced practitioners seeking to witness end-to-end Architecture–in-Motion. The company provides a diverse environment that caters to both, offering opportunities to build products using various datasets for those with a product-oriented mindset. Additionally, with an extensive collection of rich data assets, Equifax serves as a hub for AI/ML professionals to enhance their expertise by leveraging the high-quality data available.

We appreciate candidates who possess a high level of technical competency, including skills in product management, cloud engineering, data science, and AI/ML. In addition to technical skills, we value a collaborative attitude and a curious mind that can constructively challenge status-quo and be a part of the solution to thrive on the entrepreneurial spirit.

Outside of the office, Rajesh's lens captures moments that reflect his unique perspective on the world. Whether it's the intricate patterns of cityscapes or the raw emotions of everyday life, his photography tells stories that words often fail to convey.

I see photography as an art form, “that allows us to capture special moments in time and preserve them for the future. My favorite genres are people, classical dance photography, astrophotography, and music concerts. Through photography, I have been able to slow down and focus more on my work, bringing greater attention to detail and a sharpened perspective.”
