KAPIL'S EXPERIENCE: Kapil is an Indian born entrepreneur who left a high-profile management job in India to follow his heart and joined his wife in Ireland in 2009 (at the peak of the recession). He arrived with no job and didn’t have any business contacts.

Within the last 12 years, Kapil re-established his career and co-founded the All-Ireland Business Foundation (AIBF) - an independent national body that identifies and acknowledges the country’s most ambitious and visionary businesses.

As the accreditation body for the Business All-Star mark, the AIBF recognises Best-In-Class Irish businesses. Companies that merit recognition based on an independent audit of their performance, reputation, and customer-centricity.

Currently, there are over 500 companies that are accredited by AIBF. Since 2014, over 3,500 companies have participated in AIBF programs. The AIBF also hosts the annual All-Ireland Summit and monthly gatherings to promote peer-learning and collaboration among its accredited companies.

Over the last 12 years in Ireland, Kapil has served as a mentor and advisory board of several private companies. He speaks and consults with businesses on strategy, entrepreneurial success, scaling, systems, sales and digital positioning. Before starting the entrepreneurial journey, Kapil has gained well-rounded management experience from working with fortune 500 companies in pharmaceuticals, advertising and financial services.
