Personal life

Career

Sunil co-founded Srei Infrastructure Finance Ltd. in 1989, in collaboration with his brother Hemant Kanoria. According to The Hindu report, Srei Infrastructure Finance Ltd. has established itself as an infrastructure equipment finance company in India, holding a market share of over 30% over the years.[8][9][10] focusing on the leasing and financing of infrastructure equipment and projects. Additionally, in 2009, he formed a joint venture with Tata Teleservices, resulting in the formation of Viom Networks, a telecom tower company.[11][12] Subsequently, in 2016, Srei's stake in Viom Networks was acquired by the American Tower Corporation.[13] Through Srei, he launched Quippo in 2002 as an equipment rental business. He was serving as vice chairman of Srei when Reserve Bank of India removed him along with the board, citing governance concerns and payment delays.

He was a nominated member to the 23rd council of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India, but stepped down in 2021 during RBI's investigation of Srei. He has served on the boards of several companies.

In 2015, he succeeded Rana Kapoor as the president of The Associated Chambers of Commerce & Industry of India (ASSOCHAM) [14]
