At 26, he became the youngest MP in Parliament. This was in 2004, when tragedy catapulted Sachin Pilot into the limelight. After his father died in a car accident in June 2000, the family seat of Dausa passed onto young Sachin. In the next election, he lost his seat due to delimitation. Once Dausa became reserved, Sachin then shifted to Ajmer, but for this St Stephen's graduate who went on to do his MBA from Wharton School of Business, it's all work and no play. At 36, he is the youngest president to take over the reins of the Congress in Rajasthan, at a time when the party has faced its worst rout ever - the party is down to just 21 seats in the state assembly and Sachin has been entrusted at this time to lead the party into a tough general election. When he gets time, which is rare, Sachin says he likes adventure sports and spending time with his two young sons.
