KBK was founded in the early 1950s, and its founder Kul Bushan Kumar had a postgraduate degree in [[geography]].<ref name="IM" /> Kumar noticed that newspapers and journals then often carried inaccurate geographic representations. He is said to have prepared detailed maps during the [[Sino-Indian War|India-China War]] of 1962, leading editor [[M. Chalapathi Rau]] to write that only he "could provide a correct picture of the war".<ref name="IM" /><br />
