He built a Rs 18,000 crore turnover business in Canada after landing there with a return ticket to India
Roman Due is a child of the Canadian dream par excellence. Hailing from the small town of Rota, Haryana, Roman was just 28 when he landed in Canada with no idea what he was going to do.
He set foot in Brampton, Mississauga in September 2003 with a return ticket to India, ready to leave the country if that didn't work out. "But in a fortnight, I liked the place and decided to stay there," says Roman, retracing his extraordinary journey from rags to riches in a country where he built a real estate business with a figure turnover of Rs 18,000 crore (CAD 3 billion).
Today, Roman lives in an upscale Mississauga resort, in a lavish 18,000-square-foot home on the bank of the Mississauga River. His house has a tennis court and swimming pool and is worth around Rs 100 crore. His real estate company Save Max Real Estate Inc, founded in 2010, is involved in buying, selling, renting and leasing homes. The company has 50 offices across the country and employs around 700 people. Roman AGA Inst fight against the odds started early in his life.
Roman was born to Mayan Due and Sushila Due in 1975. He is the youngest of four brothers. He has an older brother and two sisters. His father had a small tea shop in Rota. While the income from the tea house was low, her father's alcoholism exacerbated the family's financial problems. Roman studied at Dhanwantari School, a Hindi college located in the premises of a temple and run by a priest, until the seventh grade.
“We lived with our Nani (maternal grandmother) in a 50 square foot house. My father was an alcoholic and a heavy smoker, so the little he earned almost never reached us,” Raman says. "My mother met with Panditji, the head priest of the temple school every month, and asked him to waive school fees for all his children. Raman's older brothers all attended the temple school, but wanted him to go to a better school., as he was the youngest and also the brightest of them all. He joined Shiksha Bharti school, a CBSE English college in class eight and got 90% in his exam class 10. He studied class 11 at Vaish Inter College, an all-boys school, and class 12 at University College, Rohtak, as he wanted to study in a coeducational school.
But he fell into bad company at school and only scored 55% on the Board's Class 12 exam. He then enrolled in BSC Medical at University College Rohtak, where he kept running like crazy. "I got involved in gangs, street fights and college elections. I often sneaked out at night with my gang," he recalled. "Even though I didn't drink or smoke, I felt comfortable with the gang. My freshman year was terrible, and I barely attended classes. I only got 44% in sophomore year, but I felt no remorse.
Then something happened in his life that would completely change him. "One day I had a fight with someone in Ramleela's time, but none of my so-called friends did not come together to save me, as I would have done for them." They just watched from afar. It was the turning point in my life. I left their company and for the next three months I focused on my studies. I got 65% last year, which brought my overall percentage to 52% He then did his MBA (199698) at Maharshi Dayanand University and came out with flying colors."
At that time, my father had also quit drinking alcohol and opened an atta chakki shop (where the grain is ground). In flour). But to pay my MBA fees, which were around Rs 50,000, we had to sell all the little gold we had at home,” says Raman. Raman's first job was with GlaxoSmithKline, a pharmaceutical company, in Mumbai in 1998 as a doctor. His salary was Rs 20,000, and he was able to save money after spending on rent, food and travel.
In 1999, he was transferred to Udaipur and two years later to Jalandhar. At that time, many people from Punjab were leaving for Canada and people would ask them, "Did you apply for Canada?" I applied on my own and completed the process,” Raman says. My father was excited and happy to know that I was going abroad. It had become my inspiration after I quit drinking alcohol. I felt like I could do whatever I wanted too.
Before leaving for Canada, he asked his friends what he could take from India to sell in Canada,, and they suggested leather jackets. He packed his suitcase with leather jackets he bought at Ludhiana and landed in Brampton, Mississauga in September 2003. He had a return ticket with him to India and was prepared to leave the country if things weren't going for him.
“I didn't have a job, so I printed business cards as a leather goods dealer and sold the jackets.I sold the jackets I bought for $50 to $200, that was it
