A tiger conservation advocate, peer mentor, and self-taught investor who has grown his equity portfolio 40 times in three years, KB has consistently demonstrated purpose, impact, and vision personally and professionally. From fundraising for forest rangers and supporting academic communities to building credit products for US banks and AI-driven risk models for Indian institutions, his work reflects a drive to create meaningful change. 

Motivated by his grandfather’s challenges in securing capital and friends being denied education loans, KB chose a career in analytics and risk to transform financial systems and develop next-gen lending tools. Committed to expanding access to capital for underserved communities, he returned to India to work in debt portfolio management and credit scoring for Indian banks. This role deepened his understanding of emerging credit markets and strengthened his ability to design scalable, inclusive financial solutions. He wanted to pursue an MBA to fulfil his long-term vision of facilitating financial inclusion. 

KB’s main challenge was turning a broad and varied profile, spanning conservation, finance, and personal investing, into a focused, purpose-driven narrative with clear post-MBA goals.
