Vision

Building rooms, not just a building.

At Al-Safa Tower Ltd, I lead the effort to bring a DoubleTree by Hilton to Dhaka, from ZamZam Tower in Uttara. The mandate is straightforward: get a globally-branded hotel operating on the ground, on schedule, done properly.

The work sits inside a family business group built over generations, spanning real estate, hospitality, technology, fintech, and education. My footing in business comes from a management degree and years of watching how serious companies are actually run, not the textbook version.
