In this episode of My Thick Accent, we explore the inspiring immigrant journey of Rohit Dhawan, a global analytics leader and data entrepreneur who transitioned from India to Canada. Rohit shares the emotional and practical challenges of starting over, from navigating grocery stores to adjusting family traditions in a new country.
Beyond survival, he emphasizes the power of emotional literacy, breaking cultural stigmas around vulnerability, and learning to express feelings for personal and professional growth. Rohit also dives into the importance of mentorship, networking, and fostering an empowering environment for newcomers.
We also discuss parenting across generations, how cultural expectations shape childhood development, and why critical thinking is key in raising independent children. Whether you’re an immigrant or simply curious about the deeper aspects of relocation, adaptation, and identity, this episode offers valuable lessons on resilience, emotional intelligence, and building a support system in a new home.
