Meet Dipak
Dipak’s journey in Milpitas began in 1996 when he and his family of four moved to the city. They started by sharing a small rented house with eight other family members, embracing the community as they lived in various neighborhoods while working in customer service and retail for many years. Through hard work and determination, Dipak and his wife eventually owned and operated a successful retail market, which they recently sold to pursue new opportunities.
Dipak’s commitment to Milpitas runs deep. His children, both graduates of Milpitas public schools, continued their education at San Jose State University and have since become professionals in IT and business. Today, his family reflects Milpitas' diversity, with immediate and extended family members from various cultures, races, ethnicities, and religions. With four grandchildren, he deeply values the inclusive and multicultural environment that Milpitas offers.
Dipak has always been passionate about the future of Milpitas. He has served on the Sister Cities Commission, the Economic Development and Trade Commission, and currently holds a position on the Planning Commission. He brings a wealth of experience, real business strategies, and a deep understanding of the community to his campaign for City Council. His success in business, job creation, and community initiatives is a testament to his capability to serve as a dedicated and effective Councilmember. Dipak believes that Milpitas needs bold and honest leadership, and he is striving to earn the community's vote.
Here’s what Dipak plans to focus on:
- Public Safety and Crime Prevention: Dipak will advocate for better crime prevention measures and support for mental health and homelessness calls. Dipak will ensure public safety is well funded in the budget as top priority. Dipak is against any calls to defund the Police.
- Affordable Housing: Dipak is dedicated to creating responsible affordable housing opportunities while balancing job growth.
- Economic Development: Dipak will work to make Milpitas business-friendly and attract high-paying jobs.
- Financial Responsibility: Dipak will ensure transparency and responsible use of taxpayer dollars.
- Homelessness Solutions: The city cannot fix homelessness alone. The solution lies in having collaborations with non profits, state, county and federal agencies. Private-Government partnerships should be explored where we can seek help from big companies for our vulnerable population. Dipak will work proactively on all avenues to provide effective solutions to homelessness.
- Infrastructure and Cleanliness: Dipak will prioritize maintaining roads, parks, and public spaces to keep Milpitas clean and safe.
