My Story
I was always good at computers from a young age in the early 1990s. I could see even from then (this is pre-internet) that computers impact every industry – whether you are creating shoes you have a computer somewhere in the factory or you are serving coffee you would have a computer taking your money.
Quick Facts About Me
- Born in 1977 in England to parents of Pakistani origin. Grew up in the US and then mostly in Belgium in an American-dominated school
- Top graduate in Computer Science with Business and Management at the University of Manchester as had a passion for computers and business
- Started corporate career in 1998 in London at Accenture consulting for Fortune 500 clients such as Microsoft,, Oracle and Sony
- Started my first digital business in 1999 – failed within a year and went back to Accenture
- Started my second digital business in 2003
- Taught myself to code and developed an app which enabled shopping on Amazon using SMS. This innovation went on to win the European prize for innovation out of over 460 entries.
- Still from my bedroom in North London, built software that was used by Apple, Google, Intel, Samsung and Xbox
- Sold the business for a cash and equity deal to a larger industry player
- Decided I wanted to do something in education for the developing world so moved from London to Pakistan (via Switzerland, Dubai and Abu Dhabi for a few years)
-
Moved back to London in 2014 as I decided I could serve better globally from here having understood the challenges of the developing world
Have a team of 30 employees in the US, UK and Pakistan.
Have set up businesses in the United States, United Kingdom, Switzerland, United Arab Emirates, Philippines, and Pakistan. So, bring a global perspective to business - High school at International School of Brussels, Belgium (International Baccalaureate), Undergrad at University of Manchester, UK (top graduate on my course for Computer Science with Business and Management) and MBA from IMD Business School in Lausanne, Switzerland (Distinction in leadership and elected class graduation speaker)
- I have taught at Universities in London, Lausanne, Muscat, Dubai, Karachi, Lahore, Peshawar and many other towns and cities you may not have heard of before. I have taught at Universities which have a lower chance of entering than Harvard. What I have learnt is that the brightest and hardest working do not simply come from famous schools but they need a chance to prove themselves
- Despite all the hype about dropping out of education to do entrepreneurship, I am still a big believer in formal and informal education to improve your life.
