At age 21, Dr. Ravi Meruva immigrated from hot southern India to freezing Michigan for school. Seven years later, he founded software programming company Iconsoft, Inc., which today has gone through two recessions and employs 150 people.
Meruva is extraordinarily grateful for the support system available to immigrants in U.S., citing freedom of speech, opportunities and policies already put in place which allowed him and his company to flourish.
