Let's Go Local: Savusavu All the Way for FORCE Boss, Sanjay Vadhera

Sanjay Vadhera loves Fiji.

He enjoys the environment and beautiful ocean view.

The FORCE (Fiji Organic Research Centre for Excellence) Pte Limited founder and chief executive officer said, Savusavu had always appealed to him because it was known as the ‘hidden paradise of Fiji’.

Before setting up base in Savusavu in 2019, he conducted extensive research in Fiji starting from Lautoka to Taveuni, travelled alone, and detoured the forestry area.

Originally from Punjab in India but living in New Delhi, Mr Vadhera said FORCE was an overseas investment company producing charcoal

from biomass.

“Having worked for 22 years at McDonald’s, I have travelled the world including countries in Europe,

Middle East and Africa,” Mr Vadhera said.

“I do not regret investing in Savusavu because it is one of the most beautiful places in Fiji.”

He said although he was brought up in London, because his father worked as the High Commissioner of India to England, he’s always longed for the ocean view at Copra Shed Marina.

“Most of my childhood and teenage years have been revolved around the populated environment, traffic, work, fast food and the fast life,” he said.

“Savusavu, filled with so many greens and beautiful resorts and views, makes me feel more relaxed.”

He recommends people to spend their quality time in Savusavu.

Below is an excerpt interview with Mr Vadhera.
