Meet investment banker, Ivy League MBA graduate, one of India’s “25 Most Influential Women” and, as of last night, national heartthrob, Raakhe Kapoor Tandon. The Indian Premier League final was played between the Mumbai Indians and the Chennai Super Kings in Kolkata on Sunday.
It saw some great performances and was attended by the biggest stars in the game.

But despite all the action and cricketing royalty on display, there was only one thing the Indian interwebz could talk about.

She first appeared on screen in the second innings, when the cameras panned to the VIP box. She was on again later, as part of the presentation committee.

Within a few hours, she was one of the most talked about topics on Twitter, second only to the generic #IPLFinal hashtag.
It didn’t take long for multiple Facebook fan pages to pop up in her honour either.
So who is this woman who took just a couple of fleeting appearances to capture a million hearts, you ask?

27-year-old Raakhe Kapoor Tandon is the promoter and director of Raas Housing Finance, and one of India’s 25 most influential women according to India Today magazine.
This investment banker is an MBA graduate from the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania.
She is the daughter of Yes Bank founder and CEO, Dr. Rana Kapoor.
But despite the connection, this amazing woman has paved her own way into the corporate world.

She’s been interviewed and written about in multiple places, mostly for how much ass she kicks.
And now for the sad news. She’s married *insert sound of a million hearts breaking* to entrepreneur Alkesh Tandon.
It’s okay, guys. She was out of your league anyway.
