My Dharma (duty) is to work, so that I can give."

International business financier, advisor to the corporate top-flight, Jojar Dhinsa first came into the public eye in 2002 when his keen eye for spotting good business ideas led to him setting up his private equity fund, ATHLONE GROUP.

Jojar is now expanding his business exponentially on a global scale with key Government and Royal connections.

Jojar started business life doing his local paper round and quickly progressed to his first venture - a lawnmower parts business that earned him his first £1,000 profit. It was his move into exporting goods however that allowed Jojar to capitalise on and further develop his natural talent for driving a good business deal. Before reaching 17 Jojar had made his first million and had begun building a reputation and business network that later would lead to the successful foundation of the Athlone Group.

After conquering the business world, becoming a father has completed Jojar's life that now revolves around his daughter.
