Varadraj also possesses a Master’s degree in Real Estate Development from Arizona State University (ASU) in the USA. During his time at ASU, he was approached by Senator John McCain for ideas on a 150-acre riverside development legacy project. This landmark project required collaboration with eight mayors, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the Federal Aviation Administration, and Senator McCain himself. Varadraj’s report is currently being implemented by the city of Phoenix and ASU. This achievement garnered media attention in Phoenix, and Senator McCain personally thanked him. He was subsequently approached for other projects, including an industrial project for relocating and repurposing a 110-acre land parcel for the Thunderbird School of Global Management.
