About Rakesh Bansal

 
Personal Profile
 
I began my career with New York Life in 1990. After working for 16 years in accounting and finance in both Europe and the Middle East, I am an established and successful agent with New York Life. I have a bachelor's degree in both accounting and law. It is through my educational background and extensive work experience in the industry that I am able to effectively communicate and connect with my clients and assist them in obtaining the insurance and financial products that will help them achieve their goals.
 
I am a longtime resident of Central New Jersey, having lived in Plainsboro for the past 20 years, and most recently Monroe, with my wife, Percis, and three sons, Amit, Rahul, and Rohit. I work closely with my sons in their individual pursuits and believe the greatest gift we can offer our children is providing them with the best education.
 
My oldest son, Amit, graduated from New York College of Osteopathic Medicine (NYCOM) and is working as a faculty attending at NYU Hospital for Joint Diseases.
 
Rahul is a top fundraiser for the March of Dimes. He holds a bachelor’s degree in finance from the McDonough School of Business at Georgetown University and is an associate at Greentech Capital Advisors, a boutique investment bank in New York City focused on the renewable energy and cleantech sectors.
 
Rohit is an Eagle Scout and holds a bachelor’s degree in economics and sociology from New York University. He is pursuing a career at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.
