Family bankruptcy meant Kunal Shah could not afford BTech, studied philosophy and did data entry operator jobs. Cred founder is WhatsApp's new global boss
Kunal Shahs journey to becoming Metas new global head of WhatsApp is far from the typical startup success story. After his family went bankrupt, he could not afford a BTech degree and instead enrolled in a philosophy course at Mumbais Wilson College because its schedule allowed him to work as a delivery boy and data-entry operator to support himself. What began as a practical choice shaped his distinctive approach to entrepreneurship, helping him develop a habit of questioning assumptions and connecting ideas across disciplines.
