rowing up in a small town in South India, International Business Management graduate Ranjodh Singh ’16 had his reservations about moving to a big city. Armed with a master’s degree in biotechnology, he pushed past his nerves and followed his brother to Bangalor, a fast-paced IT hub. The move proved to be a good one—Ranjodh advanced to bigger and better jobs in marketing for healthcare and pharma solutions companies.

Still, something was missing. He knew he wanted to be a business owner. “When you work for someone else, no matter how much effort you put in, your salary is your salary,“ says Ranjodh. “Working for yourself, success is however high you want to take it.“ He also knew he wanted to come to Canada, “a peaceful country where people are friendly and there are a lot of different cultures.“ With a cousin who was studying at Mohawk College at the time, Ranjodh decided to take himself out of his comfort zone once again.
