Through years of persistence, exams, and setbacks, that journey eventually led him to Canada — not with fireworks, but with the quiet relief of finally breathing freely.

And today, I’m joined by Pankaj Sundrani, the founder of Praise Group Solutions Inc. — a SaaS company helping small and medium businesses simplify how they manage their IT and hardware.
