Pabari’s remarkable essay on how to help Berkshire Hathaway manage its assets for maximum short and long-term sustainability, and why he would like to work there, positioned him at the top of thousands of students competing nationwide.

Raj is among the 20,000 students each year to participate in InvestWrite which integrates classroom learning in mathematics, social studies, and language arts with the practical research and knowledge required for long-term personal financial planning.
