Tessori is an ethnic Muhajir, and belongs to the Tessori family, who runs an international gold business called "Tessori Gold". He is the only politician in his family.

He established contacts with Arbab Ghulam Rahim who was the Chief Minister of Sindh at the time in order to enter politics. He was later considered a close aide to him.

The Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) has put forward Sindh Governor Kamran Tessori's name as a potential candidate for the interim Prime Minister role. In a recent meeting with Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif in Islamabad, the MQM delegation, led by Khalid Maqbool Siddique, had a warm reception. The delegation included Tessori, Dr Farooq Sattar, and Syed Aminul Haq.

He was arrested in 2008 for being involved in a real estate land scam. The land which was 80 acres and a historical graveyard, was allegedly allotted to him by Arbab Ghulam Rahim who was the 27th Chief Minister of Sindh at the time to build a new housing society called Gold City. He escaped police custody during a shootout while he was being shifted from Karachi to Badin, which led to another case being filed against him.

In 2017, a member of MQM-P Faisal Subzwari said that the party (MQM-P) was not for sale, implying that Tessori who is a wealthy businessman involved in gold & commercial real estate businesses, tried using his money to influence party decisions in order to receive a ticket in the Senate.
