Param B. Singh Biography
He didn’t have one of those clichéd dreams. Not at age 17. But he had an imagination. He wanted his way, be it on the highway or the street. Meet Param B. Singh, aged 26 years, an IT Consultant and now CEO at Rimits.com. His philosophy of life was and is definitive. Be simple, live simple. Even while following the traditional teachings of the ‘granthis’ (Sikh Gurus), he lived and lives life on his terms.
He never quite got the point of learning by rote. “I went to school for 3 days in the 11th Grade. I just couldn’t bring myself to go there.” Even though he appeared for the senior secondary national board exams, he never actually was ‘one of them’. With his own mindset and a will to stand on his own two feet from the time he passed out of 10th standard, Param worked his way through life; literally.

With an approximate 2 years of work in the busy world of photography and print under his belt, he finished his schooling, securing a first division. After working in the print industry for a good two years, he decided to join the Information Technology sector. “I always was attracted to technology. And I’d always be into music or gadgets and any new technologies. I just jumped into the IT industry. And why not? By the end of the day money matters. No it isn’t everything. But it solves a lot of problems. And IT was way more paying. And anyway it was something I was terribly anxious to technically devour.” After having hop scotched his way through a couple of companies, today he is considered an expert in the industry.
With no certified degree to enhance his resume and his higher education based on correspondence, it seemed necessary that he gain some exposure. While being professionally certified by SMI Chandigarh, Param, joined AIESEC. There he met the world; literally. Turkey, France, South Africa, US – there were students from most corners of the world. He got exposure to diverse sets of culture and he “learnt his share of things”. Commenting on such student exchange programs, he inspires and talks about children opting for such programs. “Learning, this is what it is.”
My decisions are random. I don’t know where I will be tomorrow morning. I might be in a discotheque or I m might be slogging at 2 am in the morning in my office trying to chat up my clients. Or I might be dead. The point is to live life like there is no tomorrow. And I do that. Life is inspiration. Small things like a flower blooming can be inspiration. However with rapid growth of the Indian economy, such small and simple things are easily overlooked. Well mostly. There are very few people out there who would notice the shadow of the bird on the ground. Param is one of them. With a mind of his own and a hand reaching out to help out, he is the true entrepreneur. ”
