“Success is no accident. It is hard work, perseverance, learning, studying, sacrifice and most of all, love of what you are doing or learning to do.”
Dedication
This biography is lovingly and reverently dedicated to the one whose quiet strength shaped the very core of my being—My beloved Parents, Your sacrifices are the invisible threads woven through every chapter of my life. In the most difficult times, when there was little to give, you gave everything—your time, your hands, your love, and your unshakable belief in me. You were the heart of our home, the warmth in every struggle, and the silent warrior who taught me what it truly means to endure. Every step I take, every height I reach, is steeped in your blessings and guided by your values.
To my father, Ramduth Doolub, also known as Cyris, who labored endlessly as a tailor and Dholl-puri seller to ensure his children could dream bigger than he ever could. Papa, I carry your resilience in my bones and your integrity in my spirit. You may have walked a modest path, but your legacy is vast and powerful. Your hard work, your humility, and your pride in our smallest victories continue to light my way. my mother, Mrs. Soorya Doolub. As a housewife, she may not have held academic titles, but she held something far more vital which is the strength to ensure her children had the foundation to succeed. I am who I am because you never let poverty define our worth.
To my dear wife, the pillar who holds my world together—thank you for your silent strength, your boundless patience, and your steadfast love. You’ve walked every step of this journey with me. When I was pulled in many directions, you were my anchor. I owe you not just my gratitude, but my peace, my focus, and much of my success.
To my precious daughter, 9 years old, whose smile reminds me daily of why I must keep pushing forward. You are my heart walking outside my body. I hope my journey shows you that dreams are built through discipline, and that courage and kindness will always take you farther than shortcuts and noise.
To my two elder sisters, who protected me, believed in me, and never let the fire in me die out even when life tried to dim it. You have been my lifelong wellsprings of love and encouragement. Thank you for showing me what unwavering support looks like.
And finally, to every boy or girl who has ever been told they are too poor, too soft-spoken, too ordinary to matter—this story is for you. Let it remind you that dignity is not inherited, it is earned. That true strength does not roar—it rises, quietly, day after day. And that no beginning is too small to lead to something extraordinary.
Dr. Rameswar Doolub
Phase 1 : The Formative Years of a Future Leader
“If you talk about it, it’s a dream. If you envision it, it’s possible. If you schedule it, it’s real.”
Dr. Rameswar Doolub was born on the 19th of May 1978, in the vibrant paradise island of Mauritius. The youngest of three siblings, he grew up under the loving care of his parents and two elder sisters. His father, a tailor by profession, and his mother, a dedicated homemaker, cultivated a home filled with values, discipline, and quiet resilience. Life was never easy, but it was full of meaning and integrity.
From a very young age, Dr. Rameswar Doolub showed signs of ambition and a quiet strength. Life at home revolved around simplicity, but it was not without its challenges. Like many children from working-class families, Dr. Rameswar Doolub was acquainted early with sacrifice. His family often had to stretch every rupee, yet they remained unwavering in their pursuit of giving their children a better future.
His formative years were marked by a blend of curiosity and hardship. He was a boy with dreams bigger than his circumstances. Though his parents could not afford luxuries, they gave him something far more powerful, belief in his potential. Evenings were often spent helping his father with tailoring work or assisting his mother with chores. It was during these moments that the values of perseverance and hard work were subtly, yet powerfully, ingrained in him.
The true test of his resilience came during his secondary school years. Attending St Andrews School in Mauritius, Dr. Rameswar Doolub found himself in an environment where financial status often dictated social standing. He experienced bullying and exclusion, especially during his final three years of school. The children of the wealthy treated him as an outsider, sometimes cruelly. Yet, he endured. Instead of breaking his spirit, this period forged his identity. It created in him a steely resolve to rise, not in spite of his challenges, but because of them.
One of the pivotal memories from this time was helping his parents a Dholl-puri seller to support the family income. It was not a glamorous job, but one that instilled in him the dignity of labor and an appreciation for every small victory. Carrying Dholl-puris in one hand and dreams in the other, he learned how to connect with people, how to listen, and how to be present. These early interactions, unknowingly at the time, were the foundations of the communicator and leader he would later become.
Despite the social hurdles and financial constraints, Dr. Rameswar Doolub remained focused on his academics. He knew education was his ticket to transformation. The thought of giving up never crossed his mind, even when he had to travel long distances to school, everyday. His eyes remained fixed on the long-term goal, to be someone who could make a real difference.
Phase 2 : Degrees of Determination
“The secret of change is to focus all your energy, not on fighting the old, but on building the new.”
Transitioning from the challenging halls of secondary school into the world of higher education, Dr. Rameswar Doolub carried with him not just ambition, but the weight of responsibility. Unlike many of his peers, further studies were not a given, they were a mission. Financing his education while supporting himself became a delicate balancing act, but one he undertook with extraordinary discipline. Where others saw obstacles, he saw stepping stones.
After completing his School Certificate in 1993 and Higher School Certificate in 1996 from St Andrews School in Mauritius under the University of Cambridge, Dr. Rameswar Doolub found himself at a crossroads. The drive to continue his studies burned strong, but family finances required immediate attention. Choosing resilience over resignation, he stepped into the workforce while pursuing his education part-time—a choice that would shape both his intellect and character in the years to come.
His thirst for knowledge was unquenchable. In 2002, he began enhancing his personal and professional skills, earning a Certificate in Customer Care and Personal Grooming from the Hotel School of Mauritius. Around the same time, he also completed an Advanced Certificate in Quality Management from the Mauritian Quality Institute. These early qualifications reflected a growing understanding that soft skills and professionalism would play just as important a role as academic excellence in his journey.
Dr. Rameswar Doolub has continuously pursued academic and professional development to enhance his expertise. In 2002 and again in 2003, he obtained Certificates in Communication from the Alliance Française de l’ile Maurice, further strengthening his proficiency in language and interpersonal communication—skills that would become instrumental in both his corporate and political engagements.
In addition to his communication credentials, he also successfully completed an Advanced Certificate in Quality Management from the Mauritian Quality Institute, equipping him with vital competencies in organizational standards, process improvement, and operational efficiency. These certifications laid a strong foundation for his results-driven approach and strategic thinking, which have defined his leadership across sectors.
By 2002, Dr. Rameswar Doolub had already added a Diploma in Public Relations and a Diploma in Business Administration from the Association of Business Executives (UK) to his academic toolkit. These foundational courses gave him the structure and strategy to think critically and communicate effectively in professional settings. He was not just learning theory, he was applying every lesson in real-time at his job.
Phase 3 : Rising as a Corporate Strategist
“If you talk about it, it’s a dream. If you envision it, it’s possible. If you schedule it, it’s real.”
Dr. Rameswar Doolub’s professional journey is one of perseverance, transformation, and strategic growth. It spans over two decades, each phase building upon the last with quiet tenacity. From his earliest roles in modest positions to the commanding responsibilities of leadership, his career has been anything but linear—but every step forward was earned with integrity and performance.
Dr. Rameswar Doolub in 1998 worked at the State Investment Corporation, where he was employed as a Gaming Cashier. It was a job rooted in precision, responsibility, and customer interaction, skills he would refine and expand in later years. For seven years, from 1998 to 2005, he handled complex financial transactions in a fast-paced casino environment. Though this might seem distant from where he eventually landed professionally, it taught him the importance of accountability, discretion, and reliability, qualities essential for leadership.
In 2005, Dr. Rameswar Doolub entered a pivotal phase of his professional journey by joining Top FM Radio as Sales & Marketing Executive and later promoted as Sales Manager, a role that allowed him to directly apply his growing expertise in marketing and communications. Over the course of eight years, he consistently distinguished himself through performance-driven results. Far beyond overseeing operations, Dr. Rameswar Doolub took personal ownership of strategic sales planning, client servicing, product innovation, and commercial growth. Through his initiative, he introduced several successful rubriques and shows that not only enhanced the station’s brand appeal but also created new revenue streams.
His sharp understanding of market dynamics and audience behavior translated into high-impact advertising campaigns, personally designed by him, including scripting, placement, and client adaptation. He actively devised and implemented marketing strategies, conducted market and product research, and positioned offerings in ways that significantly boosted visibility and profitability. By the time he exited in 2013, his individual sales performance had more than tripled, an outcome of his relentless focus, creativity, and results-oriented approach.
While he mentored junior staff and coordinated the broader sales and marketing division, it was his own portfolio that led the momentum, securing major corporate clients and delivering value through both tangible offerings and strategic communications programs. His tenure at Top FM—it was marked by measurable personal impact, innovation, and a clear transformation of the station’s commercial trajectory through his individual excellence.
