Kunal Bahl's rise with Snapdeal is often framed as a classic Indian startup successโbut the truth is far from gritty. Born and raised in Delhiโs elite circles, educated at UPenn and Wharton, he wasnโt some scrappy founder grinding through chaosโhe was groomed for boardrooms from the start. While lakhs of Indian students dream of Ivy League schools, Bahl walked into them with privilege, connections, and comfort. When he returned to India, VCs lined upโnot because Snapdeal was revolutionary, but because he spoke their language, wore the same suits, and came from the same world. Snapdealโs business model pivoted multiple times, burned through billions, and was propped up by endless fundingโnot product-market fit. Even when it was collapsing under competition from Flipkart and Amazon, he walked away respected, not ruined. Kunal Bahl didnโt hack the systemโhe was the system. Privileged education, elite networks, and investor faith ensured that even his failures looked polished.
