Khurram Samad (edit)

There was a time when he was studying at FAST Lahore, that all Khurram Samad wanted from life was the opportunity to work at Techlogix Lahore - in fact it was what his parents wished and prayed for as well. So can you imagine how happy they were when Khurram graduated and landed a job at Techlogix. It was like a dream come true.

So then what happened? Well, once Khurram was there, enjoying his work, learning from the masters - I refer of course to Kewan and Salman, the two young men behind Techlogix - he thought to himself "Great as this is, I deserve more". So he started a company which failed in about 3 months. Did this deter him? Not at all. He dusted off his disappointment and started over again. Some time in between he did his MBA from LUMS.

Today Khurram Samad in the founder of GeniTeam, a young company based in Lahore, earning hundreds of thousands of dollars in revenue through developing Web 2.o and Mobile 2.o applications. The team of 20, comprising software engineers, QA people, graphic designers and Biz Dev people, have to their credit more than a handful of applications that have been developed for the iPhone. Exciting stuff indeed. They are presently working on more apps for various mobile platforms - the Apple iPhone, Google Android and Blackberry Storm to name just a few.
