CEO, RB Capital
The RB Capital founder continues to expand his urban real estate footprint through landmark acquisitions and precinct revitalisation
Kishin RK is the founder and chief executive officer of real estate acquisition and development company RB Capital, which holds assets across the commercial, retail and hospitality sectors. He is also the son of Royal Holdings co-founder Raj Kumar, a real estate mogul who founded his property empire in the 1970s and made its name in strata retail. Both father and son have an estimated combined fortune of US$3.3 billion.
In September 2026, Kishin bolstered his urban real estate portfolio when RB Capital and Royal Holdings agreed to acquire Scotts Square for SG$310 million. Spanning approximately 130,875 square feet of gross retail floor area on Orchard Road, the landmark transaction offers scope for repositioning a prime freehold commercial asset and contributing to the wider precinct’s revitalisation.
Founded in 2006, RB Capital has over US$5 billion in assets. Its projects include the HSBC Building in Kuala Lumpur, the 225-room InterContinental Singapore Robertson Quay, the Holiday Inn Express Singapore Clarke Quay, the Farrer Square development in Little India and 25 North Bridge.
Beyond property, Kishin diversified into food technology as co-founder of digital restaurant group TiffinLabs, creating delivery-first culinary concepts across the region. A committed philanthropist, he has also spearheaded community initiatives to provide meals to vulnerable families, collaborating with non-profit organisations such as Free Food For All.
“The way I look at it, I should capitalise on the base I was provided with. If I have a trampoline in front of me, I’m going to jump on it and go as far and high as possible.”
