He proudly wears the badge of being a “Cottonian”, alongside other notable alumni such as Lord Mountbatten (the First Viceroy of India) as well as Ratan Tata (Chairman of Tata Group).

He spent his time and energies developing financial technologies as well as investing his hard-earned money into Innovation of Intellectual Properties. He graduated from Punjab University Chandigarh, India and after college pursued an MBA in Consumer Behavior and Marketing.

With around 50 Innovations in Financial technology and Insurance sectors under his belt, such as Liquidity in Virtualization, Niraj Goel wanted to expand his horizons by giving back to the community. He has set-up three trusts in his family’s name that give back to the under-privileged and needy.

A global citizen with houses and residences in various countries, he indulges himself with the finer things in life.

A devout vegetarian, he sleeps only an hour a day and practices meditation daily.

He is a firm believer of Destiny, Karma and Nirvana.
