After the deportation of Punjabis from the US, there is concern among the youth who go abroad in Punjab. Youth go abroad for employment but there is no dearth of work in our country either.
Prabhjeet Singh, who has returned from Australia and established his business in Punjab, says that there are a lot of possibilities in Punjab, youth should work with full energy. Do not get into a blind race for abroad. Dreaming is a good thing, but it is not justified to take the wrong path to fulfill dreams. I like living in Punjab because we have a lot of energy.
Prabhjeet Singh said that I like making things and I feel that Punjab is in a unique position in its journey. Now many things are improving in India. The government is also helping in building infrastructure. Entrepreneurs are also very excited about this. I went to Australia in 2007 with dreams that I will go there and build a big business, achieve a position. Now I feel good living here.
Took PR after working as a graphics designer
Jalandhar resident Prabhjit Singh’s father Jagjit Singh was a petrol pump operator, but Prabhjit Singh had a desire to go to Australia. So, for a better future, he enrolled in a graphics designer’s course there. He says, when I left college after two years, I was full of enthusiasm. I had a passion to stand on my own feet in Australia. I took a taxi there and drove it continuously. I earned money, then took up a job as a graphics designer. The salary was good and the future was also looking good. Meanwhile, I got PR and became an Australian citizen in 2013, but one day life took a turn. I felt like working in my own soil.
Prabjit Singh says that it was a very difficult time for him that it was not easy to leave the country where people of Punjab yearn to come and come to India and start life afresh, but there is no cure for the pain of the heart. Many friends and family members explained that now you are a citizen of that country, what is the need to come back. There was no dearth in Australia, but there was a desire to do something in one’s own country.
Started business on brother’s advice
Returned to Punjab in 2013. Dual citizenship had been announced by India. When I reached here, I consulted with younger brother Ravi Kiran Singh and decided to open an immigration and consultant company. I had experience of Australia and business there. So, I cashed on that. Formed a company named Atlantic and the company did great business. Made contracts with many big universities. Did business on how to do business in Australia, how to settle the youth there and get the visa process done, which started touching success. Prabhjeet Singh says that today he is a successful businessman in 12 years. Recession comes for some time, but it passes. Prabhjeet Singh says that now after 2 years he goes to Australia with his family only for 10-15 days.
