// 01 about

Pakistani entrepreneur running ten brands. Now growing the biggest of them across the Gulf.

Born on 5 February 1997, which was 27 Ramadan 1417 AH, at CMH Hospital, Multan. Raised in Karachi from a very young age in a family that did business for a living. At fifteen, helping at my father's shoe shop taught me the basics. How to buy, how to sell, how to handle customers, and how to count the cash at the end of the day.

During my matriculation holidays I discovered gaming servers. The curiosity turned into a self-taught journey through online forums and late-night experiments. In 2014, at seventeen, I started OBHost as a side project. By 2016 it was registered in Pakistan as a sole proprietorship. In 2019, I took it international and incorporated OBHost LLC in Delaware, USA. Today it serves clients around the world.

Along the way I did a short stint as a sysadmin and then as an IT administrator. Both jobs taught me hands-on what no book could. That early VoIP exposure is what later became The Voice Solutions.

My main focus right now is the Gulf. While almost every company in the group is moving into Saudi Arabia, the strongest push is in media. Two brands are leading that play: TechX Pakistan, which is already covering the global tech scene from Pakistan, and Dhikrayat (ذكريات), a brand built specifically for the GCC market. In 2026, this direction was recognised on the biggest stage yet when the Global Image Awards Middle East honored me in Riyadh.

// 02 journey

From age 15 to today. The story, year by year.

Some years moved fast. Some were quiet on the outside but heavy on the inside. Either way, each one added a piece to where I am now.

2012

Age 15 · First taste of business

Started helping at my father's ladies shoe shop in Karachi after school. Learned how stock comes in, how a sale is made, and how to talk to a customer who is unsure. The basics, but they stayed with me forever.
2014

Age 17 · Started OBHost

Turned a gaming-server hobby into a real service. Started selling domain names and shared hosting plans. It was part-time work while I was still studying. The journey began on a borrowed laptop in a small room.
2015 · 2016

Working on the side, learning everything

Took on short roles as a system administrator and IT administrator. Worked with Linux, Windows, networking, and call-center systems. These were not big jobs, but they gave me real ground experience that no course could teach.
2016

Registered OBHost in Pakistan

Made it official. Registered OBHost as a sole proprietorship in Pakistan and built a small dedicated team. Two years in, this was the moment OBHost moved from a side project to a real company.
2017

Age 20 · Founded The Voice Solutions · Opened the first office

Spent nine months actually working on a call center floor before launching the company. Wanted to know what I was selling before I sold it. Opened a proper office the same year. A big year for routines, salaries, and seriousness.
2019

Age 22 · A huge year. Three launches and a US move.

Took OBHost international and incorporated OBHost LLC in Delaware, USA. Launched TechX Pakistan as a technology media platform. Started Khalid Group with the HostingWalay brand for affordable Pakistani hosting. Set up PrivateSource, an NGO funded directly from business profits.
2023

Age 26 · Liquid Lounge · going remote

Opened a small coffee shop called Liquid Lounge in Karachi when the winter shifted and outdoor cafes felt right again. Around the same time, decided to stop chaining the team to a single office and started moving operations to fully remote.
2025

Age 28 · Working fully from home · OFAA launched · Saudi expansion begins

From January, the entire group is run remotely. Launched OFAA Cattle and Farm House on the outskirts of Karachi. Began the formal move into Saudi Arabia as the next operating base.
2026 · now

Recognised in Riyadh · Three more honours at home · Dhikrayat launches

This year opened with a big one. Honored at the Global Image Awards Middle East 2026 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, with the award presented by the former Governor of the Saudi Central Bank. Back home, recognised at the Global CISO Summit in Lahore, won the Leader Excellence Award at the CIO Summit 2026 for TechX Pakistan, and stood as Guest of Honour at the Future Leaders Award, ITCN Asia 2026. Launched Dhikrayat (ذكريات), built for the GCC market, working alongside TechX Pakistan, and took SSLWalay and DomainWalay live under Khalid Group. The spotlight is now firmly on media across the Gulf.

// 03 recognition

Seven moments of recognition.

Seven different rooms, seven different reasons. State guest in China. Entrepreneur award at Governor House. Cybersecurity in Lahore. CIO leadership in Karachi, twice. Guest of Honour on the ITCN Asia stage. And an international honor in Riyadh that felt like a signal for the road ahead.
