Education and Early CareerBorn in Mumbai, India, Rajeev completed his education from Stanford University where he received a bachelor's degree in Economics, followed by a master's degree in Engineering Management.[2] He then joined Oracle Corporation as one of the youngest managers there. However, after a couple of years, he quit and decided to return to India and start something of his own.[3] Sula VineyardsAfter backpacking around the world for a year, Rajeev returned to India where he decided to live the rural life. He started farming mangoes, roses, teak wood, and table grapes at his family's 20-acre plot in Nashik. In 1996, he had an epiphany when realized that Nashik had the perfect climate for growing wine grapes. His determination grew when he returned to California and met with Kerry Damskey, an eminent winemaker, who enthusiastically agreed to help him start a winery.[4] In 1997, the duo took the revolutionary step of not only being the first to grow wine grapes in this region, but also planting varietals such as the French Sauvignon Blanc and Californian Chenin Blanc that had never been planted before in India. In 1998, Sula Vineyards was established, and launched their first wines released in 2000.[5] Today, Sula Vineyards is India's largest wine producer and holds a market share of 65%. They are also pioneers in Indian wine and started facilities like a tasting room and at their winery in 2005.[6] Sula is also the only Indian wine company to be present in all price and product segments including Red, White, Rose, Sparking and Dessert wines.[7] References1. ^{{cite web | url=http://edition.cnn.com/2015/02/16/world/sula-vineyards-rajeev-samant/ | title=Meet the man who wants the world to drink Indian wine | publisher=CNN | accessdate=27 November 2015}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Samant, Rajeev}}2. ^{{Cite web|url = http://www.indiainfoline.com/article/research-leader-speak/rajeev-suresh-samant-founder-and-ceo-sula-vineyards-9340177_1.html|title = Rajeev Suresh Samant, Founder and CEO, Sula Vineyards|access-date = 2016-06-28}} 3. ^{{Cite web|url = http://www.mid-day.com/articles/wine-and-dine-with-sula-vineyards-rajeev-samant/15870175|title = Wine and dine, with Sula Vineyard's Rajeev Samant|access-date = 2016-06-28}} 4. ^{{Cite web|url = http://forbesindia.com/article/zen-garden/the-monk-who-makes-wine/16232/1|title = Forbes India Magazine - The Monk Who Makes Wine|website = forbesindia.com|access-date = 2016-06-28}} 5. ^{{Cite web|url = http://www.indiamarks.com/the-top-5-indian-vineyards-wineries/|title = The Top 5 Indian Vineyards and Wineries|date = 2012-06-14|language = en-US|access-date = 2016-06-28}} 6. ^{{Cite web|url = https://highonwines.com/tag/sula-selections/|title = Sula Selections {{!}} High On Wines|website = highonwines.com|access-date = 2016-06-28}} 7. ^{{Cite web|url = http://www.indiamarks.com/the-top-5-indian-vineyards-wineries/|title = The Top 5 Indian Vineyards and Wineries|date = 2012-06-14|language = en-US|access-date = 2016-06-28}} 2 : Living people|Year of birth missing (living people) |
