After living on three continents before the age of seven, Bharat called Greenville home starting in 1994. Bharat attended Clemson University and graduated with a B.S. in Industrial Engineering. He worked in the manufacturing and distribution industry for several years with Lowe’s Companies and Michelin. During that time, he realized he had a passion for marketing and got his full-time MBA at Emory University’s Goizueta Business School in 2015. After working with UPS in Atlanta for 1.5 years, his hometown was calling him back so he and his family moved back to Greenville in 2017. Bharat currently works in Global Product Marketing in Milliken’s Chemical division.

While at UPS, Bharat served on the company’s Pride ERG which fueled this passion for this cause. He also helped to charter Milliken’s Pride Associate Network in January 2020, serving as the Milliken Public Policies committee chair. He is proud of being an active ally and is looking forward to becoming more involved in the Chamber’s efforts for the Upstate community.

In his free time, Bharat enjoys spending time with his wife, two kids, and one four-legged kid. He can usually be found playing golf, checking out new restaurants and breweries/bourbon bars around town, or watching his Clemson Tigers and Atlanta Falcons continue their return to dominance on the football field.
