If someone were to ask me to summarize Rakesh Kak in one word, I would say exceptional. But one word will not do justice to Rakesh’s broad interests, mental capacity, and rich background. He is a kind, smart, well-read, and genuinely interested and motivated person who cares deeply for his work and community.
I have known Rakesh for 12 years, first as a colleague and then as a business partner since 2007 when we co-founded View Partners together to help emerging technology companies grow. Rakesh has been a pleasure to work with, and I have seen him many times in action representing the interests of young entrepreneurs and investors. I strongly believe his commitment to education and team building together with his technical and business background ideally suit him for leading the discourse on education in the 21st century and specifically shaping WW-P’s future.
My family lives in Brooklyn, but if we had such an outstanding candidate in our neighborhood, we would wholeheartedly embrace him. I encourage all the residents of West Windsor to vote for Rakesh Kak.

I have known Rakesh for more than 14 years. In these years I have observed his sincere and helpful nature with a constant emphasis on quality education for his children. His desire for the best education for his children drove him to the high-ranking WW-P district in 2004.
Rakesh is an active member of his community as a member of the LeParc board for the last five years. He volunteers in schools, on soccer fields, in fundraising for the WW-P Education Foundation and West Windsor Arts Council, and supports charitable organizations from the local HomeFront in Mercer County to educating girls in India (through Bitiya). It does not come as a surprise to me that he wishes to be on the school board to help maintain the excellence in education our district has achieved.
As parents, we need someone to be our voice, and Rakesh is the ideal candidate. He has firsthand experience and knowledge of the district’s schools. With two children currently in the school district he has a vested interest in its betterment and upkeep. His experience in the financial industry, excellent interpersonal skills, and hard-working personality will be an asset to the school board.
I am proud to support Rakesh and I encourage everyone to support and vote for him.
