Background

About Rohan Raina

I seek to shape policies with a long term focus to encourage stable family structures and affordable education, two critical pillars for long-term success. I am driven by the belief that every person deserves to grow up in a stable home—one that provides stability and fosters academic and personal growth. Research from institutions like the Brookings Institution and the National Institute of Justice shows that a stable home, characterized by engaged parents, leads to lower rates of violence, incarceration, and greater educational success. However, the rising cost of higher education and lack of transparency around its value often stands in the way of these outcomes, even for children from stable households. With a foundation in Industrial and Systems Engineering from Georgia Tech, I have spent my career thus far optimizing complex systems for global clients in supply chain management and workforce transformations. As a Supply Chain Consultant at Capgemini Invent, I have led initiatives that reduced inefficiencies, cut costs, and improved workforce alignment. I see a direct parallel between these process optimization principles and the challenges we face in public policy—especially in family welfare and education. By applying data-driven insights and predictive analysis, I believe we can design smarter, more effective policies that foster stable homes and create pathways to affordable education. My focus areas include child welfare policy, family tax incentives, and leveraging AI-driven decision-making to prevent family breakdowns. I’m also deeply passionate about the rising costs of higher education, in specific fields, where many students incur significant debt without fair financial justification. I believe in a future where higher education is both affordable and transparent, offering clear value and measurable outcomes for students and their families. Currently preparing to pursue a Master’s in Public Policy at Georgia Tech, I aim to deepen my expertise in data analytics, AI governance, and public sector transformation. I aspire to contribute to organizations like the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), the Congressional Budget Office (CBO), and family advocacy groups that are focused on driving systemic change. By aligning policies that strengthen families with sustainable education solutions, I hope to help build a future where every person, regardless of background, has the opportunity to succeed.
