Chirag (Chi) was born and raised in Toronto, Canada. After graduating from Pharmacy School in Michigan (Ferris State University) with his pharmacist license, Chi moved to Texas, where he worked for Walgreens Pharmacy.
During his time as a staff pharmacist with Walgreens, Chi amassed countless hours of experience running the busiest and most difficult 24-hour pharmacies in the country. Looking for a change and wanting to return to the East Coast, Chi moved to Charlotte, where he met Vic and formed the Carolina Pharmacy Group, a series of pharmacies in Charlotte, NC.
In less than 10 years, with a mission to focus exclusively on the health of the patient, Chi has helped the Carolina Pharmacy Group to grow to 6 pharmacies in the Charlotte area. Chi is the Chief Operating Officer, Head of Marketing and HR, and Brand Ambassador.
“I became a pharmacist because pharmacists–from the pharmacy technician to the clinical pharmacist–are trusted professionals in their communities and are directly involved in helping patients achieve desirable health outcomes through long term care and service. This is true of our work in our Charlotte pharmacy offices.”
“In my spare time, I enjoy watching and attending sporting events, spending time with my wife and my children, travelling to new places, and trying new foods and eateries.”
“I have quite a few favorite sports teams, including: the Raptors (from Toronto), the Maple Leafs, the Blue Jays, the Carolina Panthers, and the Liverpool Football Club.”
“My favorite foods are pizza and sushi.”
“Japan.”
“London, England and Toronto, Canada.”
“My wife is also from Toronto, and we have been married for six years. We have 2 beautiful babies who take up 99% of our time.”
“All of the people in my family were born in a different country or on a different continent.”
“Brad Pitt, because we are spitting images of one another.”
