Who is Nikhil Rajpal, the Indian-origin techie in Elon Musk’s DOGE team with key government access

Elon Musk-led Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) continues to make headlines. Musk has reportedly assembled a team of six young engineers, some as young as 19 and fresh out of college, to work at DOGE. The group, aged between 19 and 24, includes Edward Coristine, Luke Farritor, Gautier Cole Killian, Gavin Kliger, Ethan Shaotran, and another Indian-origin member, Akash Bobba. Among them, one is still reportedly a student.

In a latest, an unassuming Indian-origin techie has quickly become the center of attention in Washington’s corridors of power.
