The Beginning
A Leap into the Unknown

After hanging up my cricket gear, I ventured into the uncharted territory of business with the same zeal and determination that I had on the sports field.

From Sports to Sales: My Foray into Business

In the early 2000s, with no experience and no business plan, I dove headfirst into the world of phone sales.

Armed with nothing but personal connections and a knack for networking, I began selling phones globally. This period wasn’t just about trading phones; it was about laying the foundation for a business ethos based on relationships, trust, and the sheer will to succeed.

Expanding Horizons: The Property Adventure

High Risks, High Rewards: My Property Market Journey

By 2003, my entrepreneurial spirit led me to the property markets of the UK and UAE. With no formal training in real estate, I relied on personal contacts and learned on the go, taking high risks that often came with high rewards.

This era was marked by rapid growth and expansion, as I built my business from the ground up, navigating through the complexities of the property world with a mix of intuition and insight.

Weathering the Storm: The 2008 Financial Crisis

The 2008 financial crash was a turning point, bringing unforeseen challenges and a downturn that tested my resolve. It was a time for regrouping and refocusing, as I had to pivot and adapt to the changing economic landscape.

This period taught me the importance of resilience, the value of strategic flexibility, and the power of a positive mindset in overcoming adversity.

Diversification and Mentorship: Building a Legacy

From 2012 to today, my journey has been about more than just business success; it’s been about diversification, mentorship, and making a difference. Venturing into IT, beauty, and real estate, I’ve not only expanded my portfolio but also my impact, by mentoring those who come from non-traditional backgrounds or lack access to professional guidance.

With the support of my own mentor, I’ve navigated through planning, strategy, and life’s challenges. Now, I aim to pay it forward, helping others with drive and passion to achieve their dreams.

My philosophy is simple: be humble, respect everyone, and never stop learning. As I look to the next 20 years, I’m excited about the opportunities to grow, mentor, and contribute to a future where everyone can thrive.
