Kanwar is a next-era innovator in the private wealth management industry. After 17 years in wealth management, Kanwar felt called to challenge the status quo—he realized his ultra-high-net-worth clients have the power to create conscious momentum toward more intentional outcomes. In 2025, Kanwar moved his team to Rockefeller to serve the most innovative and diverse wealth creators in the world. At Rockefeller, Kanwar’s team provides next-era wealth guidance to ultra-affluent individuals and families. A four-time Forbes-SHOOK Best-in-State Wealth Advisor 2022-2025, Kanwar’s integrative approach to investing encourages clients to use their wealth to achieve a lasting legacy for their communities, society, and future generations. Prior to joining Rockefeller, Kanwar combined his interest in business, finance, and law to co-found a private wealth management team at UBS Financial Services in 2005 which he then transitioned in 2014 to Merrill Private Wealth.
Kanwar earned his B.A. in Political Science from Northwestern University and his J.D., Cum Laude, from Boston University Law School. He began his professional career as an attorney at Kirkland & Ellis, going on to hold senior executive positions at Valence Capital Group, Monsanto Company, and BrightSage, Inc.
