Chandragupta Maurya was indeed the founder of the Mauryan Empire in 321 BCE. He, with his advisor Chanakya, defeated the Nanda dynasty and established one of India's greatest empires. Kanishka ruled later (Kushan Empire), Ashoka was Chandragupta's grandson, and Chanakya was the advisor/prime minister, not the founder.
