Kamlesh Patel’s story is one of resilience, hard work, and entrepreneurial spirit. Born and raised in Gujarat, India, Kamlesh embarked on a journey to the United States in 1998, armed with a degree in Civil Engineering and a dream for a better life for his family.
Arriving in a new country with limited resources, Kamlesh faced the challenges of starting anew. His family’s humble beginnings meant they had to borrow money and shoulder debt just to secure tickets to America. Undeterred by the obstacles, Kamlesh and his wife dove into the workforce, taking on labor jobs like assembly lines at IBM and cashier for gas stations.
However, the spirit of entrepreneurship burned brightly within Kamlesh. Recognizing opportunities in the business world, he and his wife ventured into the realm of small business ownership. Their first venture was a convenience store in Holly Hill, NC, a modest beginning that laid the foundation for their future success.
Through dedication and strategic decision-making, Kamlesh gradually expanded their business empire. Today, the company he built encompasses a chain of over 15 convenience stores, boasting licensing agreements with their own brand and supplying fuel to over 70 retailers. Moreover, Kamlesh’s business acumen has led to the development of a vast real estate portfolio, adding another dimension to their entrepreneurial pursuits.
Despite his remarkable achievements, Kamlesh remains grounded and committed to giving back to the community and fostering the growth of others. As the Chairman of The Divine Group, Kamlesh shares his wealth of experience, insight, and knowledge with the team, guiding them towards continued success and innovation.
Kamlesh Patel’s journey serves as a testament to the transformative power of hard work, determination, and the unwavering pursuit of one’s dreams. From humble beginnings to entrepreneurial triumph, he exemplifies the American Dream in its truest sense, inspiring generations to come.
