First job: At age 8, Singh was selling and renting comic books in his neighborhood.
Proud moment: The teams he has built and the people he has worked with. “It is the most amazing feeling to add value in people’s lives and see them grow and achieve bigger heights.”
Influential people: Growing up, it was his mother, PinderJeet Kaur. “She taught me the art of empathy and how to be a good human being.” And now it’s his wife, Jasminder Kaur. “My wife is now my pillar of strength and my sounding board, and I can never go wrong with her advice.”
