Kishor worked in public health programmes funded by the United Nations for eight years till 2011. He worked as the head of social policy and planning at UNICEF in Chad, heading a UN aid mission, when he prepared a paper documenting economic prosperity and malnutrition in India. The paper reportedly was sent to then prime minister Manmohan Singh, and also caught the attention of Narendra Modi, the then chief minister of Gujarat, who invited Kishor for a meeting which led to Kishor joining Modi's team as a political strategist.

Kishor has worked as a political strategist for many Indian political parties helping them win elections. It is said that he has been a Kingmaker, ensuring the victory of six chief ministers within six years of his work.

He started his work with the BJP in 2011. Kishor worked reportedly pro bono, and without holding any office in the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) or Gujarat Government, Kishor worked as a political strategist for BJP's pre-election campaign in 2012 Gujarat Legislative Assembly election and 2014 Lok Sabha election. In 2013, Kishor co-founded Citizens for Accountable Governance (CAG), a media and publicity company in preparation for the May 2014 general election of India, with Robbin Sharrma and others. Kishor and his team were credited with formulating an innovative marketing and advertising campaign for Narendra Modi— the Chai Pe Charcha discussions, 3D rallies, Run for Unity, Manthan and several social media programmes.

In 2015, he helped Nitish Kumar led Mahagathbandhan win the 2015 Bihar Legislative Assembly election. Kishor Joined the Janata Dal (United) on 16 September 2018 as the vice-president of the party. Kishor and other CAG members regrouped as I-PAC to work with Nitish Kumar, in a bid to win a third term as chief minister in the Bihar Legislative Assembly election. The claims were that Kishor dramatically influenced the strategy, resources and alliances for the campaign. Upon winning the Bihar elections, Chief Minister Nitish Kumar named Kishor as his advisor for planning and programme implementation, with a brief look for ways to implement the seven-point agenda that was promised during Kumar's election campaign. In 2020, Kishor was involved with the 2020 Bihar Legislative Assembly election.

In 2016 the Indian National Congress employed Kishor for the 2017 Uttar Pradesh Legislative Assembly election. However, these elections were a failure for Congress and Kishor as BJP won more than 300 seats and Congress could only manage seven seats. This was also the first and only time Kishor failed to help a party win the elections.
