Cotton Girl's High School, graduating in 1968. She then attended Mount Carmel College, Bangalore, a women's

college offering pre-university courses as an affiliate of Bangalore University. She studied biology and zoology,

graduating from Bangalore University with a B.Sc. in Zoology in 1973. Mazumdar hoped to go to medical

school, but did not obtain a scholarship.

Her father, Rasendra Mazumdar, was the head brewmaster at United Breweries. He suggested that Kiran

study fermentation science, and train to be a brewmaster, a very nontraditional field for a woman. Mazumdar

went to Federation University(Formerly known as University of Ballarat) in Australia to study Malting and

Brewing. In 1974 she was the only woman enrolled in the brewing course, and the top of her class. She earned

the degree of Master Brewer in 1975.

Brothers and Burston, Australia. She also worked for some time as a technical consultant at Jupiter Breweries

Limited, Calcutta and as a technical manager at Standard Maltings Corporation, Baroda between 1975 and

1977. However, when she investigated the possibility of further work in Bangalore or Delhi, she was told that

she would not be hired as a master brewer in India because "It's a man's work." She began to look abroad, and

was offered a position in Scotland.
