“To attain knowledge, add things every day. To attain wisdom, subtract things every day.”, following the wisdom of Lao Tzu, Mr. Nishant Kumar’s leadership philosophy is shaped by the discipline of subtraction as much as accumulation. He has learnt that shedding outdated assumptions sharpens judgment and strengthens the capacity to lead amid complexity and ambiguity.
Currently serving as Head of Global Fraud Strategies and Analytics at InComm Payments, Mr. Nishant began his academic journey at IISER Kolkata and IIT Delhi. From India to New York, his career reflects resilience, intellectual rigor, and commitment to excellence. Today, he leads advanced AI-driven fraud prevention strategies for a global portfolio exceeding $50 billion across more than 35 countries.
With over two decades of experience, his leadership is defined not by scale alone, but by clarity of vision, ethical grounding, and long-term thinking within high-stakes ecosystems. Recognised as one of the Leading Global Leaders from India 2025, Nishant credits his family values and mentors for instilling discipline, humility, and responsibility.
In an exclusive interview with Corporate TrendZ, Mr. Nishant Kumar shared:
“CXOs must remain voracious learners, spanning technology, regulation, and human behaviour. I commit time each week to emerging domains such as large language models, causal inference, and privacy-preserving analytics, complemented by regular model risk reviews and frontline engagement. This dual lens keeps learning both strategic and grounded.”
