Lalit is a 25 year old entrepreneur based in Helsingborg “Sweden”.

He is the owner of two restaurants that make poke bowls; a nutritious Hawaiian specialty, much like sushi from an ingredient perspective. It is delicious.

The Pillay family is originally from India and has been in Sweden for the last 15 years.

Lalit lost his father in India. The death in of his father put a lot of pressure on him. For example: In Indian culture, the father is the head of the household, when he passes on or becomes incapacitated in any way; the eldest male in the family is expected to assume that responsibility.

As burdening as this was to this a young adult, it taught him very pertinent lessons and instilled values that came in handy in his adult life, such as discipline and responsibility.

The obvious adversities of settling in a new country did very little to impede this young man’s ( Lalit) ambition and hunger for success.

He integrated into the Swedish society expeditiously, which opened up a lot of new doors for him.

The Swedish system puts a lot of emphasis on integration and conformity; the more in tune one is with the system, the easier it becomes for someone to thrive in business or otherwise.

His resilience, industriousness and hard work put him on a fast pathway to the success that he is enjoying now.
