Migration is often accompanied by challenges—but sometimes, these very challenges become the inspiration for entirely new paths. Paths that, when fueled by perseverance, vision, and courage, lead to remarkable success. Dr. Mozhdeh Shekarisaz is one such figure whose journey is a vivid example of this transformation. Despite being a newcomer to Canada, she managed to establish a successful brand in the coffee and beverage industry in a short period of time.
Born on February 23, 1990, in the city of Isfahan, Dr. Shekarisaz has long balanced the roles of mother to three children and accomplished entrepreneur. In 2009, alongside her brother, she founded the Pars Pendar Nahad International Group—a company that quickly became a recognized name in consulting and international services in Iran.
But the real turning point came when she and her family made the bold decision to immigrate to Canada. Many viewed the move as a risk, but Dr. Shekarisaz approached it with an open mind and a forward-looking perspective. She saw new opportunities within this major transition and turned it into something that not only reflected her personal identity but also resonated deeply with the culture and needs of her new home.
Amberdo Café: A New Flavor in the Heart of Canada
This careful and professional vision led to the creation of Amberdo Café—a warm, culturally rich coffee space in Vancouver that has quickly gained recognition. But Amberdo is far more than just a coffee shop; it represents a human-centered approach to coffee, connection, and environmental sustainability.
At Amberdo Café, every cup of coffee tells a story—a journey that begins on sustainable farms around the world and ends in the hands of a customer enjoying it in a peaceful, welcoming space. The beans are carefully selected, the drinks are prepared with love, and the result is an experience built around quality and care.
From the beginning, Dr. Mozhdeh Shekarisaz emphasized that Amberdo should be a place for conversation, pause, and real connection. This vision is expressed not only through its thoughtfully curated design and relaxing music, but also through the respectful and well-trained staff, as well as the brand’s commitment to eco-friendly packaging and practices.
In essence, Amberdo’s mission goes beyond just serving coffee. It aims to become part of the Canadian cultural landscape, while still carrying with it the timeless Iranian values of hospitality, quality, and professional integrity.
Dr. Mozhdeh Shekarisaz: Mother, Immigrant, Entrepreneur
Managing a new brand in a new country—especially in such a competitive industry—is no easy task. Add to that the responsibilities of raising three children, and the challenge becomes even more impressive. Yet Dr. Mozhdeh Shekarisaz has shown that maintaining balance between these roles is possible—when driven by love, discipline, and purpose.
Not only has she quickly established Amberdo’s presence in Canada, but she herself has also become a role model among Iranian women immigrants—proof that migration isn’t an end, but the beginning of a new chapter full of potential and achievement.
Dr. Shekarisaz’s calm and professional personality is reflected in every aspect of her brand—from product selection to customer service and team leadership. Every detail bears the mark of her experience, precision, and unique identity.
Her success in building a high-quality brand in a culturally diverse country is strong evidence that, with clarity of vision, careful planning, and belief in oneself, anyone can take root anywhere in the world and make a meaningful impact.
