Born and raised in Jalandhar, the city of Doordarshan and Ajit Newspaper, Amaninder Singh moved to Canada 5 years ago with a dream of achieving a new life. After going through a personal crisis in India, Amaninder decided it was time to look for new prospects and Canada seemed like the land of dreams for him. Upon arrival,  he worked hard to look for a job in his field of electronics and appliance fixing. He gained much valued“Canadian” experience by working for local companies. When the time came, he took a step at opening his own business, A&M Electronics from his home basement in 2009. Now he enjoys the flexibility and pleasures of being a business owner. In his spare time he likes to read Shiv Kumar Batalvi and listen to Gurdas Maan. “Canada has provided me with all that I ever dreamed off and I feel blessed,” says Mr. Amaninder Singh.
