Early life and education
Khosla was born in London, where his father earned a degree in engineering. During the early years of his life, Khosla’s family moved to Delhi, India, where they lived in a small apartment with his grandparents and uncle’s family.[3]
In the 1980s, Khosla’s family moved back to London, and he attended secondary school in South Harrow.[4] During this time, his father worked as a businessman selling construction equipment in the Middle East.[1][5]
Khosla started his GCSEs at the age of 11 and had his first A-level exams at 13.[citation needed]
In 1992, aged 17, Khosla attended University College London (UCL), where he received a BSc undergraduate degree in economics. He then received a master’s degree in Accounting & Finance from The London School of Economics (LSE).[3]

In 2011, Moody’s Corporation acquired a majority stake in Copal Partners before eventually purchasing the company in 2014.[8]
In 2015, Khosla and Perlman launched their second business together, OakNorth Bank. In March 2015, the company secured a full banking license from the Prudential Regulation Authority (PRA) and the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA),[9] becoming the third new UK bank in over 150 years.[3]
