Courage is not in forcing people to do what you think is right. Courage is in being compassionate and empathetic, where in people follow you because you understand them.
Be Brave, be Kind.
Amar Deep Singh Hari was born in a middle-class family in 1967 in Chandigarh, India. His parents inculcated a strong sense of self-confidence & values in him. His father’s zeal for holistic healing, spreading knowledge & service to humanity, is something he grew up watching rather closely. He says “The sense of empathy and faith my parents instilled in me has shaped the way I relate to people. The spirit of adventure they passed on to me has empowered me to take risks, and at the same time continue to stay resilient during challenging times”. These became Amar’s core philosophies, and the pillars upon which he would one day build his empire.
Amar was bitten by entrepreneurship bug quite early in his life & after completing his education in Delhi, he came to Liberia. Amar’s innate business sense led him along several different paths where he started small by with video library & then moving on to own a night club/discotheque, casino, fast food, Cinema hall etc. He lost all of this to the civil war in Liberia in 1989 which had a profound effect on him – one that stayed with him for the rest of his life.
Confident of his ideas & dreams, together with a zest to bring a change, he took a leap of faith & moved to Ghana in 1990 to start from scratch. After years of ups, downs, sacrifices & challenges he founded IPMC – a company that shares Amar’s guiding principles of honesty, directness, and above all, great value.
His venture IPMC is now one of West Africa’s biggest IT company which is into consulting, analytics, service management and IT training among other things. After his extraordinary success in Africa, he established IPMC Smart Technologies in Canada in 2019. IPMC is now a global company with operations in Asia, Africa & North America.
His experience includes, leading sales and product development in successful corporate ventures of IT products distribution, Software development, Education, hospitality, Entertainment centres, real estate, Retail and Agriculture setups in India, USA, Canada, Ghana and neighbouring West African countries.
At the heart of Amar’s own success is a combination of talent, hard work and perseverance.
The fearless Lion rules my character. With enmity for none, the love for this creation embodies my soul.
To be brave and to be compassionate is to be a Sikh.
