Event of Anand Jain

Anand was born before the independence of India in New Delhi of a large family of ten brothers and sisters. Graduated as the first BITS Pilani graduate in 1965 in Electrical Engineering. Finding a job in India for a new engineering graduate was a bit challenging even in those times. When he couldn’t get a job in 4 months by sending resumes with almost no interview calls, his basic trait was to look for an alternative coming. He decided to stop sending resumes and planned to visit large Corporation offices on Parliament Street, New Delhi by knocking on their doors to look for a job. Able to land his first job as a field engineer in a British company International Computers and Tabulators (ITC) in a matter of a week. This got his first learning which lasted all his life “Opportunity and success do not happen on their own, one has to make them happen” Worked in India for over 9 years in various good positions as a successful person in Sales, Marketing, and management decided to come to Canada in 1975 as an immigrant with a family of 4 with two sons. No job offers just the confidence to make success happen. Leaving a senior job as a Branch Manager in Crompton Greaves Ltd in Lucknow did not deter him to take a new challenge in life to fulfilling his dream to travel around the World and meet people of various countries and backgrounds. Like any other immigrant first two years were a bit challenging, study French for six months full-time course to get his Professional Engineer designation. Idea was to get professional membership that would consider him par with any other engineering graduate. Quickly got a job and worked with Canadian Standards Association, in Montreal. Left while working as a senior certification engineer for 12 years to fulfill his dream of business. The objective was very clear to full fill dream of having my own business and to get three sons not to work for another employer but to become my own boss.
