Stan Bharti is a Canadian businessman,[1] born and raised in the Punjab Region of India,[2] who founded the merchant bank Forbes & Manhattan.[3]
He started his own management and engineering consulting firm, BLM Inc., in 1988,[4] and became the president of William Resources, which bought the Bjorkdal gold mine in Sweden and the Jacobina gold mine in Brazil.[5] In 2002 Bharti established Forbes & Manhattan.[5][6] He purchased mines from floundering companies, developed them and sold them. Since 2002, Forbes & Manhattan has developed companies almost exclusively in the mining sector.[6]
In November, 2011, Bharti donated $10M to Laurentian University,[7][8] where he gave lectures when he was a mining engineer in Sudbury.[2] In exchange the engineering school was renamed the Bharti School of Engineering.[9]
