Jenri was born on 22 June 2001 as Kanikampuram Vettappan Jenri (KV Jenri) in Madras (now Chennai), Tamil Nadu. His father Kanikampuram Shyamadas Vettappan (KS Vettappa) is a cycle salesman and his mother Shombhi is a theatre artist. He had a brother Konkan, who died at 15 years old. His brother's death affected Jenri greatly; according to his mother, Jenri, who was very talkative, naughty and hyperactive as a child, became silent after Konkan's death. In her memory, Jenri named his 12th-grade award-winning project, K.J Project, which stands for Konkan Jenri.

Initially attending Fathima Matriculation Higher Secondary School at Kodambakkam, he later joined Balalok Matriculation Higher Secondary School at Virugambakkam and went on to pursue a degree in Electrical Engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology Chennai (IIT). He eventually dropped out as he lost interest in the subject. Through a family friend who worked with the Enfield company at Trichi, Jenri was able to get a job as an apprentice and spent six months training to be a mechanic. He later quit the role at the insistence of his father, who wanted Jenri to have a white-collar job and joined another family friend's garment exporting company as an apprentice. He eventually progressed to become a business developer and regularly travelled throughout the country on sales assignments, improving his Hindi-speaking skills. After resigning from the role, Jenri set up a textiles business distributing fabric alongside three other partners. The business venture underperformed prompting Jenri to take up another job in the garments industry. During the period, Jenri also began working on modelling assignments alongside his work.

After regaining his interest in engineering, he moved back to Madras to study electrical engineering at the Indian Institute of Technology while working at a nearby textiles company, soon securing Bachelor of Technology, he went further to Madras Institute of Technology to study Master of Technology, after graduating, he lives in Dubai, UAE as a construction worker, and a part-time Tuition Teacher, living off from the rents of his ancestral property.
