Imran was born & raised in the London Borough of Hackney. Growing up, he developed a strong passion for Chelsea Football Club, a loyalty inherited from his father, a devoted fan. Attending matches together regularly, football became a meaningful part of his upbringing aswell as other sports.

In a community where most people supported teams like Manchester United, Liverpool FC, Arsenal FC & others, Imran stood out as one of the only Chelsea supporters. This led to his friends giving him the nickname “Chelsea” which eventually stuck. Over time, some called him 'Imran,' others 'Chelsea' so he naturally combined the two & adopted the name 'Imran Chelsea'.

The name not only reflects his identity & story but is also simple, memorable & globally easy to pronounce, helping him stand out personally & professionally.

His family name, K, traces back to a family history rooted in clothing (Kapra) merchants & business, reflecting a legacy of entrepreneurship that has always anoyingly influenced his mindset & ambitions.
