A 1999 batch IAS officer, Rizvi worked as Hyderabad collector earlier and also
served as chairman and managing director of one of the power distribution companies.
Hailing from Lucknow in Uttar Pradesh, Rizvi had studied electrical engineering from IIT Kanpur and public management and policy from IIM Ahmedabad before becoming an IAS officer.
