SHAM BHARWANI

His passion for cutting edge research and technology is coupled with a commitment to providing today's millennials with skills and opportunity. This drove him together with his co-founders to start N0RTHERN LIGHTS who’s open for millennials to be their equal partner. He is a firm believer that Millennials who believes in NEW DIGITAL TECHNOLOGY of today as second nature, need to be coupled with TRIED, TESTED AND TRUSTED BUSINESS WISDOM, a trait all FOUNDERS OF N0RTHERN LIGHTS (all SEASONED TECH SAVVY BABY BOOMERS) posses in order to faster penetrate and redefine current Business Practices.

In a personal capacity (he is a veteran in BEDDING TECHNOLOGY and Industry), he invented a new spring bed technology, shying away from the use of metal spring to avoid corrosion, by using a superior non corrosive material as a spring,  heavy duty PLASTICS. Hence the name PLASSPRING BED is introduced to the market. His marketing genius, demoed a real truck running on top of the PLASSPRING BED which put an end to speculations that Plastics cannot be as strong a spring as a Metal spring.
