Prior to joining Adelaide University, Rajeev was the Executive Director of a prominent film production company in India where he lead the marketing and global release of over 14 movies, including the award-winning Naan Ee and Thozha. During this time, he also managed multiple sporting teams, including "Hyderabad Hotshots", the winning team of the 2013 Indian Badminton League and “Kerala Blasters”, the runner-up team of the 2014 Indian Super (Soccer) League.
