Rajesh Boodhoo

Rajesh Boodhoo is an entrepreneur and a son of Arsenal, Constituency No. 5. A husband and father of three, he believes Mauritius needs leadership grounded in integrity, competence and service — not privilege or political connections.

With more than twenty-five years across banking, financial services, travel retail and ICT, he is CEO and Founder Director of Finanotech Group. He holds an MBA in Financial Management, an MSc in Computer Science and a BEng (Hons) in Computer Science and Engineering. At a leading Mauritian bank he led transformation work that contributed savings of more than USD 30 million, and managed a seven-year IT budget of over USD 240 million. Through Finanotech he has helped some two hundred professionals build project management and leadership skills.

Beyond business he supported ICT development at Arsenal Government Pre-Primary School and was active with Help Mauritius. He stood in the November 2020 Village Council election and the November 2024 General Election in Constituency No. 5.

He joined the Congrès Citoyen Mauricien to champion a country where merit, not connections, opens doors: quality education, the empowerment of young people and women, equal opportunity, the protection of women and children, safer communities, and a determined fight against corruption, nepotism and drugs.

Public office, he says, is a duty to serve — never a privilege.
