About

As a second‑generation real estate developer with more than two decades of experience, I’ve been privileged to be part of the legacy that helped shape the urban fabric of Lahore, Pakistan. Q‑Group isn’t just about constructing towers; it’s about building ecosystems where design, finance, operations, hospitality, and community all align. My career has taken me from managing business development and U.S. operations of an IT company in the early 2000s to leading full‑cycle real estate developments in Pakistan, handling everything from land acquisition to delivery and directing facilities management for projects serving thousands daily. I spearheaded large‑scale towers and mixed‑use developments, nurtured investor relationships, and delivered high‑rise projects that have become landmarks. In recent years I’ve expanded to Dubai, launched a technical services company, and set up a real estate investment platform partnering with leading UAE developers. At every step, my work has been guided by a long‑term mindset: I believe real estate is not just about constructing buildings; it’s about creating ecosystems that endure. I focus on integrating design excellence with financial discipline and operational efficiency. Trust, integrity and purposeful collaboration are at the heart of my approach whether I’m structuring a JV/REIT, crafting a hospitality experience, or mentoring a team. Looking ahead the focus now is on :- -Cultivating partnerships with buyers, investors, and like‑minded organizations who share a long‑term vision. -Delivering projects that blend hospitality, mixed‑use innovation, and community development. -Expanding regionally while remaining deeply rooted in Pakistan’s growth. If you’re passionate about creating meaningful, lasting impact through real estate, facility management, or strategic investments, let’s connect.
