From Baru Sahib to the World – How Alumni Baljeet Kaur Built a Global Career but remained connected to her Roots

A Journey Rooted in Values

The most meaningful ones ensure we never lose ourselves along the way. Long before Baljeet Kaur Ji became an IT professional in Canada before global names like IBM, HCL, and D2L (Desire2Learn) appeared on her résumé she was a young student learning how to stand tall with quiet confidence, honesty, and purpose.
Her story is not just about career success, it is about growth grounded in values.

Where It All Began – Seven Formative Years That Shaped a Life

Baljeet Kaur Ji was part of the 2009 batch of Akal Academy, Baru Sahib, where she spent seven defining years (Grades 6–12). These years were marked by early mornings, disciplined routines, prayer, reflection, and an education that reached far beyond textbooks.
Here, she learned The importance of integrity and humility, strength of discipline and consistency, and courage to move forward with clarity, not haste.
These lessons quietly became the foundation of her future.

Choosing Continuity Over Convenience

When the time came to take the next step, Baljeet chose familiarity not out of comfort, but out of conviction. She pursued her B.Tech at Eternal University, Baru Sahib, continuing within the same ecosystem that had nurtured her character.
This continuity reinforced what she already knew that Education works best when it aligns with values.

A Career That Crossed Borders

Baljeet’s professional journey unfolded with patience and purpose:-
Five years at IBM, building strong technical expertise.
A professional role at HCL, expanding her experience.
A bold move to Canada, embracing global opportunities.
Today, meaningful work at D2L (Desire2Learn), contributing to learning solutions that impact students worldwide.
Each step reflected growth but never at the cost of her principles.

Staying Connected to What Matters

Despite international achievements, Baljeet’s bond with her mentors Dr. Davinder Singh Ji, President of The Kalgidhar Trust, Baru Sahib, and Dr. Neelam Kaur Ji remained strong.
Her values stayed intact, her gratitude remained visible. Today, the next generation of her family studies at Akal Academy, Baru Sahib not as a matter of tradition, but as an act of trust in an institution that shapes both competence and character.

When Success Feels Like Home

When Baljeet recently met Dr. Davinder Singh Ji during his visit to Canada, it wasn’t a formal alumni interaction.
It felt like home because some journeys may take you far across the world, but the right education ensures you never drift from who you are.

A Message for Every Student

Baljeet Kaur Ji’s story reminds us:-
Real growth doesn’t replace your roots it strengthens them.
True success is measured not just by where you reach, but by what you carry with you.
Values learned early become lifelong companions.
May her journey inspire students to dream globally, act purposefully, and remain rooted in integrity wherever life may take them.
