A hardworking quizzer, his perseverance and systematic preparations saw him becoming one of the leading quizzers of his generation during his time at GEC Thrissur. He started off in school quizzing at a very early age. But did not make a mark till his 10th standard. He continued his efforts at Aquinas College as a pre-degree student. Remarkably he rarely attended quizzes during his bachelors at Pala.
Then he arrived at GEC Thrissur to do his MCA. Initially, it was hard going, even intra-college events proving to be too tough. This period marked a steady improvement in preparations and interest. Ghevarghese-Vaidyanathan team gave him good company and informal quiz club sessions were started. Gradually, a place in the finals of all Kerala quizzes was guaranteed and soon enough, he was challenging established teams for the top honours. He also found a good partner in Arun Ashok and the team won several quizzes in South Kerala.
Rajesh was one of the flag bearers for GEC during their quizzing revival. A group of quizzers like chandu, rahul, hari,rajashekhar and arun look up to him for making GEC, a competitive team. Along with the group, he ensured that all the departmental quizzes in the college featured an inter-collegiate quiz. The quizzes organised during this time were of exceptional quality, with Dr. Kishore, Promoth George and Rajesh himself doing them. During this time, GEC Thrissur was one of the best venues for quizzes, with huge turnout from teams in Calicut as well as Ernakulam and southern Kerala.
After passing out in 2005, Rajesh joined a software firm in Bangalore, where he continued his quizzing activities, partnering Thomas Jacob, Lloyd Colopilly, Prashanth etc in several KQA quizzes.
He also spearheaded the efforts to revitalise the "Greycells" activities through numerous mails, phone calls and community posts. He conducted the inaugural Greycells Open at Ernakulam with Lloyd Colopilly. His hardwork and commitment to quizzing remains a source of strength to Greycells and Kerala quizzing in general.
