In this session, Carlos Delcid hosts Pramod Sajja, President and CEO of Paramount Software Solutions, and a finalist for Ernst & Young's Entrepreneur of the Year award. Pramod shares his inspiring 26-year journey as an immigrant entrepreneur in the U.S., starting with a vision to realize the American Dream. He discusses how Paramount Software Solutions has thrived through challenges like the dot-com bubble, the 2008 financial crisis, and COVID-19, thanks to a strategy of reinvention every four years and a strong customer-centric culture.

Pramod emphasizes the importance of building contingency plans, fostering client relationships during tough times, and creating a culture that supports employees. He also highlights his passion for empowering others, from supporting immigrant employees to launching Farm to Plate, a blockchain-based supply chain solution that helps small businesses and farmers go global by meeting compliance standards.

Through a blend of innovation, culture, and leadership, Pramod has not only realized his dream but also impacted thousands of lives by enabling others to achieve their own dreams.
