Jyotiraditya
Scindia was born on January 1, 1971 in Mumbai which makes him among the
youngest in the Parliament. Elected to the Lok Sabha in February 2002
from his father the late Madhavrao Scindia's constituency Guna in Madhya
Pradesh, Jyotiraditya was initiated into his new career with an almost
unprecedented lead of votes - a lead of more than 450,000.
His father Madhavrao Scindia died in an air crash and the Parliamentary
seat from Guna fell vacant. Jyotiraditya was a natural choice for the
seat.Madhavrao Scindia, the erstwhile ruler of Gwalior was a nine-times
elected Parliamentarian. His son
Jyotiraditya was only 13 years old when he first campaigned for his
father . Today, the 31 year old son has inherited the mantle of Head of
the Scindia family but he did not inherit the seat in Parliament but won
it through election.
Added to the political goodwill are Jyotiraditya's managerial skills he
learnt at Harvard and Stanford, and the experience he gained working as
an investment banker for some of the finest financial institutions -
Merrill Lynch and Morgan Stanley. He also gained some development
experience with the UN economic Development Cell.
