Bae chus Manish Bhat - Bachelor of engineering by education – a seasoned IT professional by profession - a musician, writer and a composer by passion. I feel honored to be trusted with serving the community to curate its finances, and strive to maintain and improvise the process in whatever ways possible, in the best interest of community, ensuring seamless and top of the line experience for our members. Blessed to be born in the valley of the saints - Kashmir, I grew up across different Indian cities spending most of my years in Mumbai and Delhi, carrying our motherland in my heart like most of us. Having been in North America for more than a decade, I am calling Oakville Ontario, Canada, home since late 2018, along with my wife Pallavi Dhar and 2 boys – Rudransh and Rishaan, and visiting parents. I truly believe that Kashmiri community is an epitome of leadership, with each and every one being a leader in his/her own right and might, for having not only survived, but thrived through the turbulent times that we’ve been subjected to time and again. Being a volunteer, I aim to encourage conception of various programs, to motivate and facilitate more frequent community meetups and collaborations, on elaborate or even smaller events, across Canada, to help preserve and promote our culture and traditions. I am a firm believer of unity being the only path to sustainable prosperity.
