Kush Patel represents the next generation of Patel family entrepreneurship, building on a legacy of hard work, faith, and vision. Before founding Vedara Ventures, Kush worked in business development at a technology start-up that was later acquired by Amazon for $1 billion, providing him with early experience in high-growth ventures and strategic scaling.

With deep roots in the automotive collision-repair and fleet-reconditioning industry, Kush has transformed a single franchise operation into a multi-brand platform spanning seven locations and more than 120 employees across the United States. Through these companies, he has built trusted partnerships with major fleet clients, including Amazon, FedEx, USPS, Enterprise, and Hertz.

Beyond automotive, Kush has expanded the family’s business footprint through Vedara Ventures, which today manages a diversified portfolio in hospitality, real estate, and strategic investments.

Committed to giving back, Kush continues the Patel family’s three-decade presence on Chicago’s South Side by supporting the local communities that have long supported their businesses. His leadership reflects a dedication to innovation, community, and long-term growth that continues to guide Vedara Ventures today.
