In the quiet hills of Nepal, a boy named Aditya Jha grew up with few luxuries but endless curiosity. He dreamed not of riches but of possibilities—of a life where he could create something lasting.
Years later, with nothing but determination in his suitcase, Aditya landed in Canada. The early days were humble—corporate hallways, long hours at Bell Canada, learning the rhythms of a new culture while carrying the weight of being an immigrant outsider. Many would have stayed safe, settled for stability. But Aditya felt something stirring. Canada, he realized, was not just a place to survive. It was a place to build.
🚀 The Leap
In 1999, he left behind security and co-founded a tiny software company called Isopia Inc. The gamble was bold. Sleepless nights, relentless pitches, the constant fear of failure—it was all there. But so was vision. Two years later, Sun Microsystems bought the company for over $100 million. Overnight, Aditya had not only achieved success—he had rewritten his destiny.
🍫 Sweet Second Act
While others would retire, Aditya searched for his next challenge. He found it in an unlikely place—a struggling chocolate factory in Ontario. Where others saw bankruptcy, he saw potential. He rescued Karma Candy, saving hundreds of jobs and proving that entrepreneurship is as much about courage as it is about numbers.
🌍 A Global Vision
Then came dgMarket International, a global portal connecting billions in international tenders. For Aditya, business was no longer just about profit—it was about impact. Every venture became a bridge: between opportunity and access, between dreams and reality.
đź’ˇ Legacy Beyond Business
But his greatest work was not in boardrooms or factories—it was in classrooms. Through the POA Foundation, he poured his wealth into education, scholarships, and Indigenous community programs across Canada. In 2013, his contributions were recognized with the Order of Canada—one of the nation’s highest civilian honors.

Aditya Jha’s journey isn’t just about business wins. It’s about daring to leap when comfort whispers “stay,” about seeing hope in broken things, and about turning success into service.
