Coming from a town that is famous for holding a three day Basant Panchmi fair, Mr. Gurmukh Singh Bhangu, 43, left his festive hometown in 1993 with just 20 dollars and moved to Montréal. After doing various driving jobs in the East coast, he decided to move to BC in 2001 to be closer to his brothers. His brothers helped him open his current business, Music India Video in Surrey and Mr. Bhangu has never looked back. He believes that his excellent customer service skills have played a part in making strong business relationships and have helped him achieve success. With a busy work schedule and no days off, Mr. Bhangu still finds time to enjoy Kuldeep Manak’s music. In his spare time he likes to watch movies with his family. “I have struggled a lot to come to Canada so, I respect what I have today and I love living here,” says Mr. Bhangu.
