Connect Who or what is your inspiration in business?

My mom. She has always been an entrepreneur at heart. She was 22 when she got married and had to put her dreams aside. When I was seven, she began sharing the business ideas she once wanted to pursue—baking cakes, decorating vases, selling candles, etc. I knew tech, she had the ideas, and we began experimenting together: selling custom T-shirts, cupcakes, and valentine bears. We made our first $100 together. Seeing her sacrifice for our family of 7 and still carry that spirit inspires me

How do you stay motivated?

My family is my motivation. I was born in Pakistan and moved to Canada at 12. I watched my father work two jobs and sacrifice everything so my siblings and I could have opportunities he never had. I always dreamed one day of telling my parents, “You don’t have to work anymore.” Now at 21 years old and after five world records, that vision still drives me. I want to be someone who creates opportunity for others—fund scholarships, helping families, paying medical bills etc.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I will invest back into Tech Masters Institution, my tech education mission to make tech and AI education accessible and provide students with real skills and opportunities. The funds would go toward creating free courses in AI and software, producing educational content, and promoting on social media to reach a bigger audience and create impact. One opportunity changed my life at a young age, and now I am on a mission is to help as many people fast track their success in Tech and AI.
