Vinit Khanna founded OKS Group in 1985 with a singular vision – to provide companies with business process outsourcing services of the highest quality and at an affordable cost. While much has changed since the company’s modest beginnings, the mission and values Vinit established at that time remain at the heart of OKS Group today.

Vinit says: “At OKS, we take pride in the fact that we understand our customers. We know they want to grow their products and services, and we help by looking holistically at their needs, and then delivering the expertise and processes required to achieve their goals. But what truly makes us different is our people – their commitment to our customers’ success, and to the success of the end users of our customers’ products. We consider ourselves client partners, and that means we’re here for our customers every step of the way.”

Educated at The Doon School and St. Stephen’s College in India, Vinit holds an MBA from The Wharton School. His interests include international travel, cricket, golf and squash.
