## 🔥 Episode Summary
In this episode of Investing to Win, Garret Wong sits down with Amrit Dhaliwal, founder and CEO of Walfinch, to explore how the home care industry can be rebuilt through ethical franchising, better branding, and a focus on longevity rather than decline.
Amrit shares his unconventional entrepreneurial journey — from hospitality and early franchising to building a national home care brand across the UK. Drawing from firsthand operational experience, he explains why profit is essential to quality care, how outdated perceptions limit innovation, and why dignity and activity must be central to elder care services.
This conversation offers valuable insight for entrepreneurs and investors seeking recession-resistant businesses, while also challenging listeners to rethink what success, care, and “winning” truly mean.
