Chhabra graduated from Stanford University in 2002 with a BA in Slavic languages and literature and international relations.[2] As an undergraduate, Chhabra directed the public service fellowships programs of Stanford in Government and interned at the U.S. Department of State and the Center for Strategic and International Studies. He also performed in the Stanford Symphony Orchestra.[2]
Immediately after graduation, Chhabra received a one-year Fulbright fellowship that funded his research at the Moscow State Institute for International Relations.[3]

In 2011, Chhabra earned a J.D. from Harvard Law School, which he attended as a P.D. Soros Fellow.[1]

In January 2020, then-President-elect Joseph Biden announced his intent to appoint Chhabra to serve as senior director for technology and national security on the White House National Security Council.[6] Chhabra began service after Biden took office and is widely viewed as a key member of Biden's Indo-Pacific team, led by Kurt Campbell.[7] Politico referenced Chhabra's article in Foreign Affairs ("The Left Should Play the China Card: Foreign Rivalry Inspires Progress at Home") as a foundation document in the administration's approach to competing with China.[8]
