I was born in Gujranwala, Pakistan, and raised under the kind guidance of a father who taught me from the very start to strive for the best possible outcome in everything I do.

Since then I have rarely known a moment of stillness — always exploring new opportunities and chasing the next milestone. In those early years I started many small ventures; some failed and some succeeded, but each one taught me a lesson I still rely on today.

At the age of 17 I earned my first income online through advertising on my personal blog. Starting from scratch, I built a network of freelancers and entrepreneurs through persistence and sincere effort, living by my father’s advice to “rely on constant struggle and resilience in the face of mind-bending challenges.”

That lesson set me on a mission I still pursue today: to teach Pakistan’s tech-savvy youth how to build successful businesses of their own.

My early life was filled with curiosity about humans and the world at large. I always wondered about the internet and how it’s impacting life on this planet.

At the age of 17, I started to earn money through the ads on my personal blog. This was a moment of revelation for me as I was brought up in a countryside life where technology was a vague concept. However, I continued my efforts with the hope to understand it and implement it humanely.

My father is a sole inspiration for me as he taught me the lessons of life. I couldn’t learn from anywhere else. His business acumen and strong command over interpersonal relationships helped me to understand the importance of business relationships.

Inspired by him, I set out to build ventures that would help grow Pakistan’s IT exports on the world stage.

In 2017, I founded TechAbout to digitize human potential. As CEO, I have grown it from a small team into a global digital company that has helped hundreds of clients around the world build, rank and scale online.

I am relentlessly focused on driving meaningful technological transformation — and that focus has led to milestones I am genuinely proud of:

In 2020, President of Pakistan Arif Alvi honoured me with the Presidential Export Trophy at the President House, Islamabad. That same year I was appointed Co-Convenor of the LCCI standing committee on “Information Technology and Open-Source Software Promotion and Development”.

In 2021, TechAbout was recognised as one of the Best Software Companies in Pakistan for its IT services and customer experience — a milestone earned by the whole team I am privileged to lead.

In 2022, the President of Pakistan, Arif Alvi, again awarded me with the Best Presidential IT award. The President of Pakistan congratulated me for my exceptional contribution to the enhancement of the IT sector of Pakistan.

In 2022, I was invited to join the Forbes Technology Council. The journey has been demanding, and the setbacks along the way have taught me as much as the wins — each one adding to the wisdom and practical experience I bring to every venture today.
