Fighting A Tampa Grad’s Deportation

Author Orlando
Friday morning we joined in on fighting a Tampa grad’s deportation. His name is Nishit Ranka and he’s been a marketing , media specialist for our company for 4 years. His concentration is in digital with placing ads, across the country for digital clients. Our company hired him but also became sponsor for his H-1 VIsa. However with our digital transitioning to a new process, it leaves Nish without a position or sponsor. In this pursuit we’re learning so much about his culture and norm of India. When you see the clock counting down the weeks before a friend has to leave the country, it makes you more inquisitive. You don’t have the time you thought that you would.  Yet we have to time to let people meeting this unique buddy of ours

Fighting Deportation is Fighting To Introduce Him

While fighting a Tampa grad’s deportation feels like a strong SEO title, it is a little flawed. It’s not a real fight but more of an introduction. To hear his love for American culture and interpretation is a staunch reminder to some who may need to see this world through the eyes of another. In addition hearing about the traditions in India is a window to a land most of us haven’t seen. Nishit has 2 masters degrees and his bachelor’s, as well. It so funny that as this conversation was happening, he started getting leads, people adding him on social media (and a few marriage proposals). This is when he says “OMG, my co-worker is famous!” Hardly, but he will be when people hear the genuine appreciation and love that he shared for our country.

Getting Familiar With India

We got first hand knowledge of the domestic life of India and the financial differences between the US to India. The world is so large and social media gives the illusion that its small by connecting subscribers worldwide. When these stories began to hit the airwaves, the audience was locked in and businesses joined in on the fighting a Tampa grad’s deportation right along with us.  Check this out.
