Why did Dr. Varish Goyal turn in his white lab coat and join his family’s business? 

Find out on a recent episode of BNY Mellon Wealth Mangement’s Your Active Wealth business owner podcast series. As the president and CEO of a collection of family-operated businesses, Varish explains why he shifted away from a lifelong dream of a career in medicine and joined his family’s business. 

Today, Varish directs the largest gas service operation in California, as well as the bold new convenience store chain Loop Neighborhood. Varish discusses his family’s inspiring immigrant story, the joys and challenges of working with family, how he’s laying the groundwork for future generations, and the three things you need in life in order to succeed.

We hope you've enjoyed this article. While you're here, we have a small favor to ask...

As we prepare for what promises to be a pivotal year for America, we're asking you to consider becoming a member.

The need for fact-based reporting of issues important to multi generational businesses and protecting a lifetime of savings has never been greater. Now more than ever, multi generational businesses and family businesses are under fire. That's why Family Enterprise USA is passionately working to increase the awareness of issues important to generationally-owned family businesses built on hard work, while continuing to strengthen our presence on Capitol Hill. The issues we fight for or against with Congress in Washington DC include high income tax rates, possible elimination of valuation discounts, increase in capital gains tax, enactment of a wealth tax, and the continued burden of the gift tax, estate tax and generation skipping tax.
