A prominent Non-Resident Indian businessman, Chiranjeev Kathuria, is contesting as a Republican candidate for US Senate from Illinois, from where no Indian-American has been elected to the Senate before.
The 38-year old Kathuria, who was born is New Delhi and moved to Illinois with his parents when he was only eight months old, has founded and built businesses valued at a combined $1 to $2 billion.
He graduated valedictorian from a suburban high school and went on to earn a medical degree from Brown University and an MBA from Stanford University.
While Indian Americans have risen to prominence in fields such as business and medicine, politics has been an area where few have ventured.
