Kanishka Narayan, appointed as the new cabinet minister for AI, shares an educational background with numerous past prime ministers, having attended Eton College. Following his time at the private institution, Mr Narayan pursued a degree in politics, philosophy, and economics (PPE) at Balliol College, Oxford. This academic path has been a common route for many senior politicians, as reported by The Guardian.
Unconventional Background
Despite his attendance at Eton, Mr Narayan's upbringing is noted as being far from typical of the traditional British elite. He was born in Bihar, a state in eastern India, and relocated to Cardiff with his family at the age of 12. His parents operated a petrol station, and Mr Narayan, along with his younger brother, initially slept on the floor of their one-bedroom residence. A teacher at his local high school encouraged him to apply for places at private schools, which led to him securing a full scholarship to Eton College. The Guardian reported that an MBA from Stanford and a subsequent career in the City followed his university studies.
