Mr. Kushal Bhargava

Co-Founder

Social :

Mr. Kushal Bhargava is the Co-Founder of MyBranch. MyBranch allows businesses to have a local sales office in their preferred destination. The company has offices in over 25 cities across India. Kushal is a qualified Chartered Accountant and holds a master’s in commerce degree from Mumbai University. He is also an active member of the Student’s Committee of WIRC (Western India Regional Chapter) of ICAI. After completing his education, he started managing a pan India BFSI business. Solely because of his efforts, the group’s business turned around.

The idea to create MyBranch came to Kushal in 2008. Due to the great recession, his plans were put on the back burner. However, Kushal didn’t give up. In 2015, MyBranch established its first office in Navi Mumbai. Since then, there has been no looking back for the company. Over the next three years, Kushal plans to open over 100 MyBranch offices.

Today, Kushal believes that the country is on the verge of a big change. He believes one area which will change dramatically over the next few years is commercial real estate. In the following years, large companies will want to expand their business by opening offices in smaller cities. Kushal is driven to facilitate this expansion.

An innovative and strategic thinker, Kushal sets the vision for MyBranch and supports its operations team with delivery. He also assists in developing the business and forges ties with companies. He is also responsible for driving the ancillary businesses of MyBranch which are - Meeting Rooms, Virtual offices and Managed Offices.

In 2020, he expects MyBranch to expand to 50 cities. Kushal is also experimenting with a partnership model in which landlords invest in an offices’ infrastructure. When this model becomes a reality, MyBranch's capital expenditure will fall to zero.

In addition to growing MyBranch, Kushal is also eager to help the economies of small Indian towns grow. He wishes to bring to the attention of large companies the financial advantages of opening offices in small towns. By doing so he expects not only to benefit large companies but also to help the economy of small towns realise their fullest potential.

When he is not working, Kushal likes to read non-fiction books that provide insights into business. He also believes in taking care of himself by adhering to a rigorous exercise regime.
