Be Your Own Best Friend (BYOBF) Network is North America’s first professional networking group for South Asian women. The BYOBF Network was founded by Sukhi Ghuman and Manpreet Dhillon in Metro Vancouver in March 2012. Both Dhillon and Ghuman saw a need to create a networking group that not only provides women with an opportunity to network in a safe and fun environment, but also celebrates the successes of South Asian women.
