Join in for a conversation with Shubha Dasgupta, President, and CEO at Capital Lending Centre (CLC). CLC is a brokerage house for mortgage brokers in Canada that grew from just 6 in 2017 to 160+ in 2019 and is one of the fastest-growing mortgage brokers in the country. Shubha and his partner, Kendall, started CLC to be a new kind of mortgage brokerage house, one they wish they had when they started. Shubha's been in the mortgage industry for more than 10 years and before this part of his career, he started a transportation logistics business with a friend right out of high school. He entered the old trucking business as a wide-eyed 18-year-old and build a business that would be transporting toys made in Toronto all the way down to Disney World in Florida. In our chat, we go talk through Shubha's entrepreneurial journey in two old industries: trucking and mortgages, the lessons he had from starting the different businesses and how two pivotal moments that involving his grandmother and his mother altered his career and his passion for philanthropy.
