A Brief History-
KC GlobEd distinguishes itself by offering exceptional professional courses, including the US Certified Public Accountant (US CPA), US Certified Management Accountant (US CMA), and the US Enrolled Agent (US EA), commonly known as the US Taxation Expert.

KC GlobEd’s students benefit from diverse practice tests and access to a vast e-book library, receiving badges at each milestone to boost their morale.
Struggles and Success Stories-
The success story of KC GlobEd is intertwined with the journey of its visionary founder, US CPA and Indian Chartered Accountant Kamal Chhabra. Hailing from a middle-class family, he faced financial constraints and familial responsibilities that only fueled his determination to succeed. Working in international markets, including the US, Africa, and the Middle East, Kamal gained invaluable exposure and networking opportunities with prestigious companies such as PwC, Indorama, and EY.
Kamal’s auditing tenure included examining financial statements of global giants like HP, Intel, General Motors, Robert Bosch, GSK, FDC, Palo Alto Network, and Goodyear, among others. In mid-2019, actively strategizing his move towards entrepreneurship, Kamal returned from the US to India in March 2020, just before the COVID pandemic. Simultaneously working with EY GDS in India, he initiated online education for US Certified Public Accountant courses, eventually garnering 10 to 15 students. This initial success propelled Kamal to resign from his position in late October 2020, marking the beginning of his entrepreneurial journey.
As a first-generation entrepreneur, Kamal dedicated himself to his vision, starting as an instructor for US CPA and US Enrolled Agent courses. Recognizing the high demand for instructors in these specialized fields, Kamal taught all subjects within these courses, and his class notes, praised for clarity and value, evolved into nine publications over three years—six text books focusing on US CPA in line with the blue prints issued by world largest accounting body American Institute of Certified Public Accountant (AICPA) and three text books on US Enrolled Agent in line with the blue prints issued by Internal Revenue Services (IRS) of the United States of America. Kamal is the first author of such professional books in PAN India.
Key Takeaways-
Under Kamal’s leadership, KC GlobEd collaborated with selected students and professionals to create a question bank of over 20,000 copyright-protected questions and produced 600 copyright-protected bite-sized video lectures covering the entire spectrum of relevant courses. The team also established an in-house technical team to engineer an AI-powered digital learning platform.
In a significant stride, between April 28th to 30th, 2023, Kamal and his team organized Tech4Ed, an international expo and conference at the India Expo Center in Greater Noida, U.P. The event garnered support from esteemed entities and Government of India bodies like AICTE, MIETY, Startup India, G20, Startup 20, NCERT, AP Startup Mission, TN Startup Mission, TiE California, TiE India, and others. Distinguished attendees included Sri. Mahesh Sharma, Member of Parliament from Gautam Buddha Nagar, U.P., and High Commission from the Taiwan and Nigeria High Commissions, along with industry leaders and many senior officials from Government of India.
Kamal Chhabra, reflects on his unique journey, emphasizing the importance of a founder’s mindset as a blend of a dreamer’s vision and a doer’s determination. Beyond KC GlobEd, Kamal has co-founded ‘ScaleX Times,’ an investor network platform in the USA, aiming to bridge the gap between global investors and Indian ventures.
In the dynamic landscape of education technology, KC GlobEd stands as a testament to the transformative power of knowledge, innovation, and a steadfast commitment to excellence. As society continues to evolve, so does the role of EdTech, with KC GlobEd leading the charge in shaping the future of education.
