It’s quite interesting hearing you talking about moving to Japan because part of what we talk about in the show is talking to people who have set up businesses overseas and also working overseas. I went back into music for about ten years before I started on the coding journey which I guess is what we are going to focus on today. It was just a great kind of break from the UK shores and what was going on at the time.

I learnt the language and travelled a bit. I taught English to kids from the age of four upwards to fifteen and I kind of just lived the life. Because I’d done that straight out of uni I then wanted to do something a bit mad and a bit different so I took myself off to an island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean called Okinawa which is part of Japan. I came straight out of uni and stared working for a record label in Manchester called Faith & Hope and had loads of success and a number one record, bands did really well.

I needed to match your location really.Īmul: It’s funny because I’ve worked in the music business most of my life.

Today is a fantastic Show because we have Amul Batra in Manchester who is Chief Partnerships Officer at North Coders and I’m liking your background on zoom!Īmul: It’s actually a beach in Okinawa in Japan where I used to live many years ago.
