Early Life
Kohli was born in London to a social worker and a teacher, who had come to the United Kingdom in the 1960s from India. When he was three years old, they moved to Scotland. Kohli's parents could afford to move him, aged six, and his brothers out of state schooling to be educated by the Jesuits at St. Aloysius' College, a Roman Catholic school in central Glasgow (where he had the distinction of finishing the Death of Socrates in Greek O-Grade evening classes, because he - unlike his three co-students - had finished his prep). To finance their family through private school, Kohli's parents ran a corner shop.
He went on to Glasgow University to study medicine, but changed course to study Maths, gaining a first-class degree, and subsequently studied for a PhD.
