Abstract: Rajat Gupta, the first non American CEO of a Top 50 US company, was considered a living example of the American Dream. Born in India and orphaned at a young age, Rajat Gupta scaled great heights in his professional life. With Harvard Business School and the Indian Institute of Technology as his Alma mater, he rose to the top offices of the business world. Hailed for his intelligence and generosity, Gupta was showered with laurels by the world. He stood as a beacon for many, before the dream came crashing down. Rajat Gupta was accused of insider trading and was sentenced. The case tries to give a gist of Rajat Gupta’s life before the accusations surfaced and how his friendship with Rajaratnam and his greed for money brought down one of the most respected businessmen in history.
