The Founder & CEO at Aims Global, Arunima Dhingra, is a long-timer in NZ's immigration industry. She has been providing immigration advice and support to businesses and migrants for over 15 years. In 2017 she won NZAMI’s prestigious Immigration Adviser/Lawyer of the Year Award as well as the Community Outreach Award. Arunima is now serving as a Board Director for NZAMI - NZ’s largest association of immigration advisers and lawyers. She has witnessed governments come and go, and policy changes - both good and bad. She has also been a very active voice in lobbying for changes when policies were estranged from practicalities of real life. Her wealth of experience and vast knowledge as an immigration industry leader means her input is often sought on all aspects of immigration policy development, including submissions on pilot schemes. Arunima says there isn't a boring day at work because the immigration landscape in New Zealand cannot stand still. That's how you clock in so many years and still remain so vested!
