Business News: From Rags to Riches

Rami Ranger, the award winning business owner of Sun Mark, philanthropist and political reformer shares his inspiring story to the top in his new book From Nothing To Everything.

Beginning with a dramatic flight from home during the turmoil of the break-up of India in 1947, Rami’s journey takes in the assassination of his father, childhood hardship, emigration to England and the long fight against prejudice to achieve success on a scale he could hardly have imagined as a naive young immigrant in London in 1971.

Having founded his first enterprise with just £2 and a typewriter in 1987, Rami now overseas Sun Mark, a £180 million-a-year operation that has become one of Britain’s fastest growing businesses.

Commenting on the book, Rami said: “I considered writing this book after the London riots of 2010. I listened to many young people who were interviewed at the time, saying that society was stacked against them and they had no motivation in life. I wanted to tell my story to these people to tell them that no matter what life throws at you, if you have the right attitude and ethics there are opportunities out there and you can have all that you might desire.”

En route from poverty to riches, Rami offers lessons in business and lessons in life. The story, told in his own words, provides an inspiration for anyone who faces obstacles in their quest to fulfill their dreams and ambitions. From Nothing to Everything by Rami Ranger is available in all good bookshops.
