About Me
Early Life
With great adversity, come great opportunities to succeed. When you start life at the rock bottom, there is no way to go but up. The story of my life is a living proof of that. Growing up in the ancient city of Lahore, little did I know that my destiny lies elsewhere. For me, the corner of my town was the end of the world. Back then, I did not know that I was meant to wander the globe and write a destiny for myself that would take me all over the world. I was born in the area of Lohari gate Lahore. It is a small, quaint and humble neighborhood originally considered a home to the blacksmiths of the walled city. I started my education from Twinkle Scholars High School which was located nearby, in the neighborhood. After my high school graduation, I went on to join Government MAO College, Lahore with an infinite number of dreams in my eyes. It was then that I realized that the world is my oyster. Strangely enough, the vastness of the world never bothered me as it would someone who is coming from a quaint background as mine. Rather, it fascinated me like no other thing. I believe it was this fascination that motivated me enough to work hard and achieve a life that would take me to places.
Carrer
After my college graduation, I traveled to the United States of America in pursuit of my dreams. Since then, I have worked in the USA, Malaysia, Dubai and Singapore. During the span of my work, the main areas of my expertise were Entrepreneurship, Data Analysis, Lead Generation and BPO. That led me to the development of TMC Pakistan (The Mejor Communications). Ever since its creation in 2020, it has only grown in size and impact. TMC is my first brainchild, a communications solution for entrepreneurs. In a span of mere two years, The Mejor Communications has generated tons of employment opportunities for the pandemic ridden youth of Pakistan. To battle with the worsening job market for 2020 graduates, we hired extremely capable and experienced graduates from the best universities presenting them with the opportunity to explore marketing and telecommunications as a career opportunity. Through this idea, the experienced graduates and clients equally benefited from this arrangement. On one hand, the graduates gained a fresh perspective of the work environment. Whereas, on the other hand, the clients got to experience a diverse, multivalent work force base which is passionate to write its own future. As of now, TMC has over 200 employees working multiple shifts to provide as well a service to the clients as they can. At the start of my career, I used to work as an insurance agent. The hours were long and the pay was minimal. I did not have my own mode of transportation. Therefore, in order to get to the office, I used to borrow my friend’s bike. For someone who had to borrow a bike to commute to his workplace where he once worked as an insurance agent, I believe that I have come a long way in my life. I have not only made a comfortable and successful life for myself. It gives me great pleasure that I am able to do something for the people working for me. Because of the hardships I have had to face during the struggling phase of my career, I am specifically cognizant of my employees who share the same fate as me. I constantly try to motivate them to be courageous and wise in their decisions. I can never forget the words my first boss told me, he said:
“Fear is the only thing that stops one from succeeding. Once you learn to tame that wild horse, success comes easy. Man in his very nature is invincible. He just needs to tackle his fears head on.”
I have learned to fight the fear of failure. It does not bother me anymore. Failure is an integral part of one’s life story. Everything that I have done is due to this fact. Most of the employees that work with us show maximum potential for growth which gives me great satisfaction. I have been able to build my world through the help of my mentors. All the people who taught me the value of courage, money and putting your word where you thought it. I have learnt a lot from different people around the world and it gives me great pleasure to be able to pass on everything that I have learnt about the market trends and business.
Achievements
My career kicked off during my work as an insurance agent. Seeing so much death and adversity around me, I was a strong believer of insurance as a means to securing financial stability. The insurance company I founded was another dream project of mine. It is an independent insurance quote comparison website that permits you to seek out the simplest insurance rates in just minutes. At togoquotes.com we are constantly working towards demystifying insurance around the globe. I strongly believe that insurance is a necessity and not a luxury. Everyone should be access insurance and secure their own and their loved ones’ future. Slowly, brick by brick, I built a future for myself and my family and I want everyone to be able to do it on their own. I want everybody to follow where their heart lies. But, I believe it is best for them to do it when they have the financial security so their loved ones are not rendered helpless. Insurance provides you with a risk free ticket to your dreams. In many ways, it is really a way to ensure that you end up on a path of success.
Around that same time as I was pursuing a degree in MAO College, I also found my knack for arts and culture and immersed myself in the world of singing. I believe that music, in itself, is healing. Music expresses that which cannot be said and on which it is impossible to be silent. My life has taken me all over the world. Everywhere, people use different languages to communicate with each other. One sound could mean completely different things in different languages. One thing I realized during my time abroad is that music is one language that binds all of humankind. Music is the universal language of mankind. Where words fail to describe one’s emotions and feelings, music speaks and envelops one’s soul. Music is the language of the spirit. It was then that I dreamt of creating a platform for the underrepresented musicians of my country. The real, raw talent that often goes unnoticed in front of the pomp and show of big production houses. Throughout my life, the dream lingered on, occupying a permanent spot in my bucket list. At a time when I was struggling to make ends meet, the dream seemed distant but I was sure that one day I will make it happen. In the year 20. I founded SH Productions, a production company aiming to discover the unheard and silenced voices of Pakistan. With SH Productions, I dabbled with various genres of music starting with folk. Out first track ” Madine Kai Aaqa” describes my inner feel for beloved prophet Hazrat Muhammad (PBUH). It came straight from my heart and described my deepest inner feelings for Prophet Muhammad PBUH. There are some words which were rarely used in such compositions, but the Divine possession and passion enabled me to utter them perfectly. Professional commitment aside, my passion lies in the performing arts, music and singing. During the process of auditions, I love engaging with the raw talented people of Pakistan. They are visionaries, each having a distinct voice and artistic qualities. Everything I do enriches my life. It amazes me to think that all of the projects and businesses that I have today were once dreams envisioned by a seven years old sitting outside Twinkle Scholars High School, trying to memorize formulas. God has been kind to me.
Throughout my career, my wife, the love of my life, has been my rock. My wife and my kids have been the best support system I could ask for. Being a psychologist, my wife has an amazing insight into the depth of life. She gives me the best advice to deal with employees and any hiccups throughout the year. We got married in 2013 and moved to the United States of America in 2017 with a zeal to do more, seize every opportunity to move forward in life. Every day, we get up and work hard for the two blessings God has bestowed upon us. If there is anything that you take away from this is that courage, passion and commitment to your dreams will take you a long way. My life is a living proof that adversity is never a hurdle in the way of success. Your background does not define who you are as a person. What defines you is your skill, your courage and your resilience in the face of fear.
