Through Kansal & Company, Ruchin advises select CEOs and boards on governance and decision quality at critical inflection points where institutional decision-making is a constraint. While his background is in healthcare and life sciences, his advisory services extend to any complex, regulated institution where governance and decision quality are essential.

He offers a research-based perspective on leadership in complex organizations, informed by primary research with over 12,000 future leaders worldwide through the Future of Leadership Survey and refined through executive teaching at Brown University, Seton Hall University, and the Wharton Global C-Suite Executive Program.

Ruchin is co-founder of the Elite Global Leadership Institute, a selective program in Spain that brings together exceptional young people to foster leadership conviction and capacity early in their development.

He is the founding editor of In The Lead, a global leadership magazine, and leads the Future of Leadership Survey, which collects insights from citizens aged 18–30 across North America, South America, the EU, and Asia. He is the author of Redefining Innovation (Routledge), The Kansal Clunker (Koehler Books), its Indian adaptation, Where the Highway Ends (Readomania), and the forthcoming Work Signals (Taylor & Francis). He has contributed to Digital Strategies and Organizational Transformation (World Scientific) and writes regularly for Wharton Healthcare Quarterly.

In his free time, he enjoys being with his wife, Gunjan, his son, Neil, and their dog, Roo. An avid traveler, Ruchin has visited all 50 states and over 30 countries. Experiences with the landscapes of the Indian Himalayas, Swiss Alps, Canadian Rockies, and Argentinean Andes; the cuisines of Mexico, Morocco, and Turkey; the cultures of Peru, Italy, Greece, and China; the efficiency of Japan, Germany, and Dubai; and the hospitality of Kenya and Nepal have all shaped his perspective on the world and the organizations he serves.
