Ankush Khardori has become a well-known professional after an extraordinary career that included significant legal positions and well-respected media analysis and commentary.
His parents moved to New York before he was born, having left Kashmir, India.
Khardori’s family moved to Springfield, Illinois, from New York City after he spent his early years there.
It was in these early years that he learned the value of education and the necessity of hard labor.
Even though his parents have stayed out of the spotlight, their assistance was essential in helping Khardori get into Columbia University, an Ivy League university, for his undergraduate studies.
This intellectual basis then served as a launching pad for law school.
