Kushal is a qualified Chartered Accountant and holds a Master’s degree in Commerce from Mumbai University. He is also an active member of the Student’s Committee of WIRC (Western India Regional Chapter) of ICAI. After completing his education, he started managing a PAN India BFSI business. Solely because of his efforts, the group’s business was able to achieve higher numbers.

Kushal has been the planner for brand MyBranch and it is due to his relevant insights; MyBranch successfully established its first office space in Jamshedpur in the year 2016. Since then, there has been no looking back for the company. Within 18 months of starting operations, MyBranch achieved the breakeven point, making it a notable brand in the co-working industry. By end of 2022, Kushal plans to open 100 MyBranch offices.

Today, Kushal believes one area which will change dramatically over the next few years is commercial real estate. In the following years, large companies will want to expand their business by opening offices in smaller cities. Kushal is driven to facilitate this expansion and aims to spread out in untapped locations throughout India.

An innovative and strategic thinker, Kushal sets the vision for MyBranch and supports its operations team with delivery. He also assists in developing the business and forges ties with companies. He is also responsible for driving the ancillary businesses of MyBranch which are – Meeting Rooms, Training/ Conference Rooms.

Be it corporates, IPC’s or Aggregators; he has executed the brand to be a complete life cycle management solution providing corporate office space, recruitment, staffing, compliances and audits.

Kushal is also experimenting with a partnership model in which landlords invest in an offices’ infrastructure. When this model becomes a reality, MyBranch’s capital expenditure will fall to zero.

His vision for MyBranch is to increase Customer Satisfaction Index further by gaining presence in more cities and adding up locations.

Vision beyond Business:

In addition to growing MyBranch, Kushal is also eager to help the economies of small Indian towns grow. He wishes to bring to the attention of large companies the financial advantages of opening offices in small towns. By doing so he expects not only to benefit large companies but also to help the economy of small towns realise their fullest potential.

When he is not working, Kushal likes to read non-fiction books that provide insights into business. He also believes in taking care of himself by adhering to a rigorous exercise regime.
