About

Kundan Bhaduri is the Executive Director and Chairman of the Board of The Kushman Group, a dynamic multi-national business headquartered in London with operations in India. Originally a leading real estate developer and professional landlord, The Kushman Group is now diversifying into the manufacturing of industrial raw materials, building materials, single-brand retail, and the spirits business, cementing its position as a player of significance across multiple sectors. With two decades of experience across diverse industries including technology, sales, banking, and real estate, Kundan and his better half Anusha started their company from a kitchen table and have grown it into one of Kent’s fastest-growing family-owned property ventures. The Kushman Group is on track to become one of the largest Professional Landlords in the region. Kundan holds an International MBA from IE Business School in Spain and an honours degree in Engineering, both completed in the top 5% of his class. A first-generation immigrant, Kundan arrived in Britain some 15 years ago as a ‘Highly Skilled Migrant’ (when that still meant something), starting life in a squalid house share in East London with little more than the proverbial one set of clothes and a fistful of subsistence money. Kundan is a widely published and trusted expert on the British Real Estate scene. Through his writing and commentary, Kundan advocates for Britain as a force for good globally, and argues that British citizenship should be seen as a privilege, not an entitlement. He champions a society built on meritocracy, individual responsibility, and national pride, arguing that these principles are the foundation of a prosperous nation. Unapologetically critical of the culture of entitlement and identity politics, Kundan calls for policies that promote hard work, fairness, and the rule of law. He strives for a society where businesses grow, families feel protected, and communities thrive on the foundations of integrity and ambition.
