== Early life and education ==
Kordestani was born in Stanford, California. He attended Phillips Brooks Elementary School. In 2009, Kordestani moved to London, England due to his Parent’s divorce and stayed there for a year attending Eaton Square School. In 2010, however, Kordestani moved back to California, and graduated from Sacred Heart Preparatory in 2017, where he was a dean’s ambassador and president of the SHP stock exchange.

== Career ==
Kordestani started his first business venture, Milan Farms in 2015 when he was in his sophomore year. Milan Farms aimed at modernizing the farm egg industry. It focused on the production and distribution of eggs, saffron and poultry. It was under this business, Kordestani published his research paper on his successful experimentation of growing saffron hydroponically on microfiber sponges.
In July 2018, Kordestani co-founded Guin Records, a hip-hop record label company along with his sister Misha. The idea behind this company was to support purpose driven artists from around the world. Kordestani and his sister focus on the storytelling aspect of lyrics, signing select artists who represent that purpose while also selling label services to the greater artist community of non-signed artists. Guin Records aims at collaborating with undiscovered artists and invests in producing high-quality tracks. The very first album released by Guin Records - Uncharted was a well-received first album with over 3.5 million Spotify streams and 4 million Apple Music streams. Uncharted received over 2 million views on YouTube and 2.7 million downloads on SoundCloud. The founders later took down the album to prioritize their new signed artists.
Kordestani also founded the world’s first entirely anonymous online publication platform in 2020. The Doe aims at creating a secure space for selected contributors to share their experiences and stories on this blogging site. The highlight of this platform is that people can share their ideas and opinions and speak about any issue without the fear of being identified or judged. Kordestani with his experience believed that a lot of people are unheard because of the societal fear and backlash that they might experience, and thus created The Doe which provided a platform for these voices.
In 2019, Kordestani co-founded Dormzi along with Sabine Rizvi when he was in his freshman year of college. Dormzi provided consumer services like tutoring, food delivery, and errands exclusively for college students. This app was designed to help students earn extra income without any hindrance in their study schedules. The platform later pivoted from a task-echange to a digital marketplace.
