Shalabh Kumar is a Chicago-based Indian American businessman. But his identity changed after he emerged as the biggest individual donor to Donald Trump’s presidential campaign.

While speaking exclusively with The Quint on a range of current issues, Shalabh Kumar drew parallels between Trump and Modi. Kumar has been lobbying for Modi since 2013. He also hinted that he’s in the race for the US ambassador to India.
