Who is Kunal Bahl?
Take it from the beginning. Kunal Bahl is not that guy whose company possibly delivered your favourite pair of sneakers or the kitchen appliances. He is actually the co-founder of Snapdeal-an e-commerce platform, which happens to have survived the brutal world of online shopping in India. Kunal is the co-founder of Titan Capital, which invests in venture capital into the emerging Startups. Basically, he’s got his fingers in all the pies (and we’re not just talking about his wife’s confectionary business).
Born on January 1, 1984—he shares his birthday with the New Year—Kunal was destined for a fresh start and possibly a lifetime of people forgetting his birthday because they were too hungover. Capricorn, ambitious and disciplined. He probably writes out his to-do list for the day while brushing his teeth. Fun fact: he tried his hand at Microsoft early in his career but clearly wasn’t ready to join the Windows cult. He came back to India and thought, “Why not create a company where people can buy stuff from their couch in their pajamas?
Kunal Bahl Career
MoneySaver was their first venture before Snapdeal, a couponing business. Absolutely, the coupons! What started as a humble effort to save a few bucks soon became a bigger vision: selling electronics and clothes, with no need to leave one’s abode, of course. Who wouldn’t want that?
Snapdeal was born in 2010, and soon, saving money became an excuse to spend money. Tons of it. Snapdeal became a huge player in the e-commerce space in India, jostling with Amazon and Flipkart at par. And even as the company had its fair share of highs and lows, Kunal and Rohit never went to the “close tab” button; they ventured into more interests under their parent company AceVector. His career does not stop at Snapdeal. He has turned himself into some sort of guru for startups. He invests through Titan Capital, which has supported more than 200 startups, with 22 exits and seven unicorns. So, to say, the guy has an eye for winners–including his own startups.
Oh, and as if that weren’t enough, he has just become a reality TV star too, featuring on the hot seat of Shark Tank India Season 4. If his life were a shopping trolley, it would be bursting at the seams.
Kunal Bahl Net Worth
How Many Zeroes? Now let’s talk of what everyone really came here for – the money. As of 2024, Kunal Bahl’s net worth is projected to be over ₹3500 crore. That’s a lot of rupees, folks! Or, in other words, enough to buy 35,000 Tesla Model 3s in India. And then there’s his salary-over ₹4 crore annually.
If you are wondering how to make this kind of money, here is a quick two-word tip: invent something people want to buy, invest in things people want to buy, and then sit back and watch the rupees roll in.
And with investment from Titan Capital, he amasses a pretty penny in his corpus too. With 200 startups in his kitty, you know the guy is not flying by ear. He is rather a walking talking ATM for the startup ecosystem.
Kunal Bahl Age
Kunal Bahl blew out the candles on his birthday cake on New Year’s Day 2024 when he turned 40. While some of us can just about manage to blow out birthday candles without setting the cake ablaze, Kunal is blowing away competition. At 40, he’s accomplished more than most people do in a lifetime: CEO, investor, reality TV star, and probably the guy who always gets upgraded to first class. Not bad, Kunal, not bad at all.

Kunal Bahl Family: Wife, Children? Behind every great man is a woman who tolerates all that business babble that the man indulges in. In Kunal’s case, that woman is Yashna Bahl, who also happens to be an entrepreneur herself. She runs a confectionary business; we can only hope that their house is now the place to be for anyone looking for something sweet. Together they have two children; a son and a daughter.
It hasn’t produced a generation of mini-CEOs yet, but who knows what the future may bring?
His private life appears pretty earthy, especially if we take into consideration that selling millions of merchandise pieces is his business. And still, we suspect his kids are even more enthusiastic about dessert time at mom’s bakery than almost anything in his entrepreneurial business.
Kunal Bahl Height and Weight
Kunal Bahl Height and Weight: The Man Behind the Business So for all you success-in-inch-gains people, Kunal stands tall at 5 feet 8 inches. And that just so happens to be the ideal height for a man of a decade building one of India’s best e-commerce platforms. Not to mention weighs in at a healthy 70 kg, meaning he’s in fantastic shape-despite probably being able to sample all the sweets at Yashna’s confectionary.
