Some 11 years ago, Sam Christopher Kalangi, a young man with big dreams left India to make Australia, an absolutely foreign soil, his home. An ever enthusiastic young man, that he is, bubbling with passion and energy, Sam didn’t know of the struggles that was instore at this land whose culture and lifestyle was alien to him. He worked as a labourer, did the dishes at restaurants to make both ends meet to finally becoming a warehousing manager for 9 years. But that life is not a bed of roses, Sam was faced with another hardship when he was informed that his job got redundant. He sat at home dejected for one year before he landed another job, where he was cheated by the employer who didn’t pay him his wages. Even at that time Sam, didn’t give in to the tests that life was putting him into. His wife, Prasanthi, who has always stood by him like a rock, suggested him that it was time he was his own boss and that he should start his own business and be a leader. After rejecting the idea initially Sam, started deliberating and researched for more than 12 months to finally come up with an innovative and creative approach of doing business. 11 years later, Sam is a completely changed man, he stands today as the Managing Director of ‘ALRIK RYAN IMMITATED JEWELLERS’ (ARIJ) that “also help establish a brand new business setup for people who are very much interested to start their own business to flourish and make very good profits.”

Indus Age caught up with Sam in an exclusive interview. Read on to know more:
