Kunal Mehta

Author, Disruptors

New York City

Prior to founding his company, Kunal worked at J.P. Morgan for four years and in Equities Trading at Nomura Securities post-graduation. Despite building lasting relationships and a deep knowledge of the financial industry, Kunal had an entrepreneurial urge to take a risk and build a business of his own. While developing his own idea and struggling with his decision to leave finance, Kunal was inspired by the game-changing entrepreneurs of his generation that pursued their own passion.

In 2013, Kunal interviewed these founders and uncovered the initial struggles they faced as they left a corporate job, dropped out of college, or filed for bankruptcy for the first time. These stories are documented in his first book, DISRUPTORS.
