“Our mission is simple: we empower financial planners to spend more time building trust, deepening client relationships, and growing their business”
Chris Arthur, Bold Wealth
Rajan Kaushal is the founder, president, and CEO of Tribecca Finance. His 30-year career in the mortgage industry embodies a commitment to service, continuous growth, and making a tangible difference in people’s lives.
Kaushal has built Tribecca into one of Ontario’s largest self-funded alternative mortgage lending companies, guided by a philosophy that has remained constant since the company’s founding in 1999:
providing mortgages that benefit customers
delivering exceptional service
generating results for broker partners
The seeds of Kaushal’s entrepreneurial spirit were planted with a paper route at age 11, as he developed the work ethic that would define his career. Before establishing Tribecca, he worked in his family’s mortgage brokerage, an experience he considers invaluable.
This intimate knowledge of what brokers need and what customers expect became the cornerstone of Tribecca’s operations. Rather than viewing brokers as distribution channels, Kaushal understood them as essential partners whose success directly impacts Tribecca’s mission. This broker-centric perspective has been instrumental in strengthening relationships and building loyalty across his partner network.
The early years of Tribecca demanded extraordinary sacrifice. Kaushal averaged 70-hour workweeks during his first 18 years in business – a testament to his belief in the company’s vision. This intensity was driven by his passion to grow the business and a genuine desire to help people achieve home ownership and provide capital for financial improvement and business growth. For Kaushal, each mortgage represents more than a transaction; it’s an opportunity to help someone achieve a dream or seize an opportunity.
What distinguishes him is his commitment to development. He regularly dedicates time to meditation, reading, and listening to podcasts featuring leaders in the personal growth space. He believes this disciplined approach to self-improvement has been integral to Tribecca’s success and to living a more joyful, balanced life. This philosophy has also influenced Tribecca’s culture, creating an organization that values growth at both corporate and individual levels.
Beyond business, Kaushal’s priorities reflect his values. Family remains his greatest focus along with his charitable work, particularly The Shayam Kaushal Foundation, established in honour of his brother, who passed away from cancer at age 40. Shayam, a mortgage broker and one of the CMBA’s original directors, was passionate about education and industry development, values that he carries forward through the foundation’s work. So far, it has raised over $250,000 for worthy causes.
Kaushal’s achievements have earned industry recognition. Between 2010 and 2012, he spearheaded the construction of a state-of-the-art Tribecca head office that won first prize in an Ontario-wide architectural and design competition. Then, in 2018, he was recognized as an Industry Icon in Canadian Mortgage Professional, affirming his influence and contributions to mortgage financing.
Kaushal’s legacy is one of building a lending business that serves a genuine purpose: empowering brokers, enabling customers, and fostering industry growth.
