Meet Our Founders
A unique combination of financial expertise and real estate mastery
Koushik Kadidal
Co-founder and CEO
Koushik Kadidal has over 25 years of experience in global financial services, having worked across the United States and India with Capital One, Citibank, and PayU. Most recently, he served as Chief Data Officer and Head of Insights Business at PayU, one of India's largest FinTech firms.
Koushik is an alumnus of Harvard University and holds an MBA from the Strome College of Business, Virginia, where he graduated at the top of his class and received the Outstanding Student of the Year award.
After decades of corporate success, Koushik recognized a familiar pattern—professionals working hard and saving diligently, yet missing out on the wealth creation that real estate quietly delivers to the few with access and insight. He founded SQFT Fund to change that by building a transparent, credible, and institution-grade platform that enables professionals to invest early in curated, high-quality real estate opportunities.
