Kaling was born Vera Chokalingam in Cambridge, Massachusetts, to a Tamil father and Bengali mother from India. Her father, Avu, is an architect, and her mother, Swati, is an obstetrician/gynecologist.
She explains that she has been known as Mindy ever since her mother was pregnant with her when her parents were living in Nigeria.

The name Vera is the name of the "incarnation of a Hindu goddess."
She graduated from Buckingham Browne & Nichols, a private school in Cambridge in 1997. The following year, she entered Dartmouth College, where she was a member of the improvisational comedy troupe "The Dog Day Players" and the a cappella group "The Rockapellas", and the creator of the comic strip "Badly Drawn Girl" in The Dartmouth (the college's daily newspaper), as well as writing for the Dartmouth Jack-O-Lantern (the college's humor magazine). She graduated in 2001.

Mindy, your dad is crazy
He said he’d break my fingers
if I went on after you
But really, he’s kind of funny
He told me he ate Zingers as
I could if I want to
Mindy, your car is slower than mine
We race them all the time
And I could always beat you
But I love you so I let you win
(I don’t think so)
No? (No, I don’t think so) No?
But it doesn’t matter anyway ‘cause
You are the one who picks me up when I am down
You’re the answer to my questions,
You’re a wall around this town
It’s so sad for the others because
they will never see
They’ll never feel like me
As warm and safe as I do
a burning arrow straight through
And there will never be another girl like you
Mindy you are the best thing
ever to happen to me
You put up with my stupid ways
And that’s not the easiest thing to do
For a minute or two,
not to mention for the rest of our lives!
It’s so sad for them, but it’s so good for me
I know you're picky and I
Know you're waiting for a
Guy that's hot and funny
And maybe has some money
I don't have all 3 but,
2 out of 3 ain't that bad
You say that you're an eight but,
Come on you're a ten, so
Tell me again, tell me again, tell me again
Mindy Mindy Mindy can't you see
All of your words just mesmerize me.
Oh oh oh
I heard about your project,
Well I'm gonna make you mine
You're the queen of this town,
Won't you share your crown and
Tell me again, tell me again, tell me again
Mindy Mindy Mindy can't you see
Sometimes you're words just mesmerize me.
Oh oh oh
