Lahore, Punjab, Pakistan
I'm the founder and CEO of Barakah Global Services, a Makkah-based company specializing in Hajj and Umrah logistics, AI automation solutions for travel operators, and complete pilgrimage services. With over five years in transport and travel, I worked as Assistant Director of Finance at a multinational transport company and Business Development Manager at Zaroon Transport in Saudi Arabia. That experience showed me where travel operators struggle most: manual processes, inefficient coordination, and the constant pressure to compete on price without margin. What Barakah does: Transport Logistics — White-label Hajj and Umrah transport coordination between Jeddah, Makkah, and Madinah. We handle the Saudi-side logistics so you focus on your clients. AI Automation — Custom chatbots that handle repetitive customer questions, booking coordination, and WhatsApp management. Typically cuts admin work by sixty to eighty percent. Replaces six to eight staff members' worth of manual coordination. Pilgrimage Services — End-to-end: visas, hotels, flights, ground transport—all coordinated from one place. Our model: We work B2B with Pakistani travel agencies. You send pilgrim groups; we manage all Saudi logistics. Why it matters: Pilgrimage is high-volume, low-margin. Most operators burn out on operations. We automate the operations so you compete on service, not just price. Currently building partnerships across Pakistan and Saudi Arabia. If you're in Umrah or Hajj and want to explore automation or logistics support, let's connect.
