About

A student who builds

I’m a student and entrepreneur from Sialkot, Pakistan, interested in where business, technology and community meet.

I co-founded Skin Secrets and built it from zero into a nationwide skincare brand. I also co-founded Smart Rehabilitation AI, a tool now used in addiction recovery programmes, and co-authored a PubMed-indexed research paper.

Alongside my ventures, I’ve gained hands-on experience in export manufacturing, logistics and international marketing, and I lead Algorithm, a tech society for students, and Equivita, a community initiative in my city.
