Kaushal Kishore, born on the last day of 1942 in the Indian state of [[Uttar Pradesh]], did his graduate studies in chemistry at [[Lucknow University]] and obtained his master's degree from the same institution before enrolling for doctoral studies at [[Deen Dayal Upadhyay Gorakhpur University]] where he studied under the guidance of R. P. Rastogi to secure a PhD for his thesis on ''mechanism of combustion of non-hypergolic propellants''.<ref name="Kaushal Kishore – An obituary" /> His career started at Gorakhpur University as a teaching faculty but he moved to the [[Indian Institute of Science]] in 1974 where he rose in ranks to head the department of inorganic and physical chemistry from 1994. His early researches were on thermochemistry and combustion of polymers with focus on the kinetics and thermodynamics of combustion, particularly with solid propellants.<ref name="Handbook of Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar Prize Winners">{{cite web | url=http://www.csirhrdg.res.in/ssb.pdf | title=Handbook of Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar Prize Winners | publisher=Council of Scientific and Industrial Research | date=1999 | access-date=5 October 2016 | pages=34 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304043957/http://www.csirhrdg.res.in/ssb.pdf | archive-date=4 March 2016 | url-status=dead }}</ref> These researches assisted him in discovering ''autopyrolysis'', a term he coined for a phenomenon related to accelerated combustion caused by polyperoxides, details of which he published in one of his articles.<ref name="Synthesis, properties, and comparative analyses on the chain flexibility of an ultrastable vinyl polyperoxide">{{Cite journal |last=A.
