About Yashwanth Dhakshana

I strive to assist others any way I can. Whether it’s by building a library for low-income school children in western India or by volunteering at a homeless shelter in New Jersey, I’m always willing to help those in need. I help others through my connections, creativity, and hard work.I have an MBA in Finance from Rutgers Business School in order to help companies cut costs, improve revenues, and use their resources more efficiently. I hope this, in turn, will allow companies to expand and create more jobs, lower the price of their products, and invest more in research to produce products which will enhance the lives of others.
