I grew up in Ahmed Abad WANG, Lasbela, Balochistan, and came to AI through development work — not the other way around. That local beginning shaped how I understand communities, systems, and the practical gaps between global opportunity and people who are usually left out.
Alongside my initiatives, I work independently as a consultant and advisor for companies, development organisations, and international donors. My work includes training provision, AI literacy, digital strategy, social media and communications, program design, partnership development, and practical implementation support.
220 million people speak Urdu. Almost none of the world’s AI education reaches them. So I built the infrastructure to change that.
Urdu AI grew into Pakistan’s leading AI literacy platform — over one million people through social media, a weekly newsletter, a mobile app, and workshops across the country. The largest Urdu-language AI education community in the world, built without a venture round or corporate backing.
PakSpeed followed — because you cannot talk about digital inclusion without honest data on who actually has connectivity. Pakistan’s first community-owned internet speed network logged over 15,000 tests in its first seven days.
Key Milestones
Different platforms. Different communities. One conviction: AI should belong to everyone who needs it — and practical consulting should connect global systems with local realities.
