My Story: Airdrie Is My Home
Since 2015, my family and I have proudly called Airdrie home. As a father of four and a loving husband, I am deeply invested in the future of our city—a future where all families can thrive and grow together.
Recognizing the need for community support and connection, I co-founded the Indian Society of Airdrie (ISA). This organization helps newcomers with employment, social integration, and business networking while fostering a sense of belonging and cultural continuity for all residents.
Why I'm Running for Councilor
I believe in putting Airdrie first. With my engineering background and community leadership experience, I'm ready to bring practical solutions and transparent governance to City Hall.
