Anoop Dhillon – Khas

Anoop Dhillon is an Entrepreneur & Health Informaticist who started her career as a consultant, specializing in data and strategy. Over the last 10 years she has led high-impact projects across Canada and the USA, working with healthcare organizations, vendors, and government bodies.

Despite her success in the professional world, Anoop’s passion for Indian jewelry—rooted in its intricate designs and cultural heritage—remained strong. When searching for her wedding jewelry, she identified a gap in the market for 22K gold pieces that blend traditional craftsmanship with modern simplicity. This inspired her to launch 'Khas,' a jewelry brand dedicated to creating solid 22K gold pieces which are not only a symbol of heritage but also a valuable investment meant to be cherished and passed down for generations.
