Kapil studied Management of Information Systems & Finance from the University of Texas at Austin (1999-2003). He then worked for Deloitte Consulting in San Francisco as a Senior Consultant for five years.

After many years in the United States, first studying Management of Information Systems and Finance and then working at Deloitte Consulting as a senior consultant, in 2008, Kapil relocated to Gujarat to start organic farming at his 22-acre farmland.

He then founded Edible Routes in 2015 with the aim to help more and more people grow their own food.
