Anirudh Arora MBA 25

Anirudh Arora

When I was exploring MBA programs, I wanted more than rankings—I wanted a place to grow, and UC Davis delivered. The Part-Time MBA let me pursue rigorous academics while working full-time, but it was the collaborative, purpose-driven culture that truly stood out.

Previous Work Experience

  • Software engineer, Forcepoint

Previous Education

  • Master of Business Administration, UC Davis Graduate School of Management 
  • Master of Science in computer science, George Mason University 
  • Bachelor of Engineering in computer engineering, University of Mumbai

Fun Facts

  • I enjoy travelling so much that I was a Sacramento Part-Time MBA student while living in the Bay Area
  • I've been exploring crypto since before it was cool. I first came across Bitcoin in 2012 and began investing seriously in 2018. That early interest evolved into a broader passion for fintech, leading me to develop product strategies around DeFi, CBDCs and digital assets during my MBA.
  • I completed my MBA, got married and became a parent all at once, turning chaos into a leadership lab that taught me real-time management skills beyond the classroom.
