Mukherjee, a Managing Director of Corporate Private Equity group at Blackstone, has been appointed as one of the team leads in Economics and International Trade.
His appointment has been the latest one as three other Indian-Americans - Sonal Shah, Preeta Bansal and Nicholas Rathod - have already been inducted into Obama's team.
Mukherjee has been involved in the execution of a number of investments in a wide range of industries.
He has received a BA from Harvard University where he graduated magna cum laude as a Harry S Truman Scholar and an MBA from Harvard Business school.
Before joining Blackstone, he worked with Thomas H. Lee Company and Morgan Stanley & Co.
He has also worked at the Department of Education (in the Fund for the Improvement of Postsecondary Education) as well as the Brookings Institution.
Obama is the first African-American to win the US Presidential elections. He will take over as the 44th President of the US on January 20, 2009.
The Indian-American community overwhelmingly supported Obama in the November 4 elections and are said to have voted for him by more than a two to one margin.

Transition teams are temporary, most of the appointees are from Harvard,indians make up less than 1% of the U.S. population.There are 8000 policy positions with the new administration, lets wait for the end result. I expect it will represent an American spectrum.White, Blacks, Latinos and Asians.
May I now about the website opened by Mr Obama to get opinion about the glowbal activities and suggessions/good ideas for better world.
Did the Indian 'sick-larist' champions investigate and approve this appointment, that whether Anjan Mukherjee has any connection with RSS/BJP? Then only the appointment will be confirmed. What a joke of Indian Secularist champions even playing in American politics. Stupids!
People of Indian origin getting world-wide recognition combined with Indian flag planted on moon and nuclear treaty finalized is a great prelude to our country becoming a super-power.
Nicholas Rathod is the only fit person here. Why can not all these others change from their paganistic names too and be born again in the love of Joosus Kriste? Godd bles Amrika.
