On Wednesday, November 21, 2012, the Indo-Canada Chamber of Commerce – Young Professionals Committee (ICCC-YP) kicked off its first Leadership Series Seminar with Gurdev Narula, Partner at KPMG LLP.

Gurdev came to Canada in 2004 and very quickly rose through the ranks at KPMG. He shared his story to success and the path he chose to take to reach his goals of becoming a Senior Partner at KPMG. KPMG LLP is one of the top four audit firms in the world with offices located globally, including 33 locations across Canada, which provide for consulting services to various industries.

Gurdev was introduced to the audience by Gaeru Sobti, one of the Co- Chair of the ICCC-YP Committee, who recognized his achievements in the most personal and humorous manner.

Oeishi Bhattacharjee, one of the Co-Chairs of the ICCC-YP Committee and MC for the evening, said that the main objective of this Leadership series is to highlight the emerging entrepreneurs and leaders of the Indo-Canada community and to provide inspiration to like-minded young professionals.

These series of Leadership Seminars will be continued over  the remainder of the ICCC year, till May 2013, featuring inspiring and unforgettable business leaders. Through this series, members get a chance to participate in various discussions as well as network with business leaders and other young professionals in the Toronto area.
