Adit Kumar

Born in a family of civil servants, and brought up in the Pink City of India, I learnt very early on, the values of honesty, hard work, and that ‘Knowledge is Power’. Took a village to raise me but had to travel across the world to find my love for the homeland, that is Bharat. I have Bachelor’s degrees in Computer Science and Economics from Purdue University, USA and an MBA from XLRI Jamshedpur.

Been a Jack of all trades throughout my life. Having already tried my hand at IT, Marketing, HR and Consulting, I finally found my calling as an accidental iBanker.

Knowing that time stops for no one and there are a million things out there that I don’t know but could and should know. Also, procrastination.

My Mother is my pillar of strength. Her goodness keeps my faith in the world alive. Cristiano Ronaldo – hard work beats talent, if talent doesn’t work hard! The man is the epitome of discipline, ambition and perseverance. Roger Federer – grace personified! The aura of the legend with no haters.

Being able to create real value in people's lives, however small it may be. Visionary founders who wish to change the way people consume and live. Making lists and crossing things off them. Also, Nutella Milkshakes.

God alone is the giver. There is no path to happiness. Happiness is the path.

La Familia! People to lean on and giants on whose shoulders I can stand, to have an impact on the world in my own way.

Disruptive companies with Tech at their core. I enjoy working with companies in cleantech, EV, consumer, and deeptech sectors.

Love playing and watching any and every sport, but football has my heart. I am a huge movie buff, globetrotter and a trained hip-hop dancer.
