Tej Kohli BiographyBorn on August 17th 1958 in New Dehli, India, to Devender Tej Kohli and Deepali Kohli, Tej Kohli first demonstrated signs of his business acumen for technological ventures by successfully completing a Degree in Electrical and Mechanical Engineering (with a focus on semiconductors), graduating with honors from the prestigious Indian Institute of Technology.
But not content with the career path seemingly mapped out for him, and keen to break free from what he saw as stifling traditions, Kohli's entrepreneurial spirit came to the fore when he decided to leave India, emigrate to the United States, and set up business overseas, working with Raba Contel Ltd. in New Dehli as a senior applications engineer, and the California-based Pentagon Investment Group.These experiences, and the vision and far-sightedeness he possessed, drove Tej Kohli to create and become the CEO and Director of Grafix Softech, and e-solution, e-commerce, e-marketing and interactive software firm employing over 250 people. Based in Costa Rica, Grafix Softech provides business solutions and services to online businesses and industries, with particular focus on developing and servicing online payment methods and application software. Now regarded as one of Costa Rica's most successful employers, businessmen and philanthropists to causes most important to him, such as education and community development, Kohli plans to expand his business more aggressively across UK and Europe. His many philanthropic interests include The Tej Kohli Foundation, which provides assistance for impoverished children in Costa Rica, with plans to expand its activities into other countries and areas where the need is greatest. The Kohli foundation benefits from a $300,000.00 endowment funded solely by Mr. Kohli, enabling it to carry out its important work.
