If you ask Amir where his journey began, he might laugh and say, “Everywhere and nowhere.” Born in the bustling streets of Hyderabad, Pakistan, and shaped by the vibrant culture of Karachi, Amir’s life has been a tapestry woven with adventure, creativity, and just the right amount of chaos.
As a child, Amir was fascinated by astronomy, spending countless nights gazing up at the stars and imagining their mysteries. While the universe didn’t make him an astronomer, it did give him something else: a love for storytelling. One serendipitous MBA assignment later, Amir discovered his true calling—writing. What started as an unexpected spark quickly became a blazing passion, leading him down a path where words became his tools to explore the universe differently.
After earning his degree in Chemistry from Georgia Tech, Amir chose an unconventional path, trading test tubes for pen and paper. His career journey took him to Ad giant McCann Worldwide, where his talent for crafting narratives earned him accolades like the Macron Ad Award for Pizza Hut in 1999, proving his knack for blending creativity with purpose.
Now based in Atlanta, Amir has wandered far and wide, leaving footprints across every continent except Antarctica (still too chilly) and Atlantis (still waiting for a reliable map). For him, traveling isn’t just a physical act—it’s an exercise of the imagination, a way to discover and experience a place before ever setting foot there.
Beyond writing, Amir is a man of many talents. As the lead vocalist of the Sufi rock band ‘Karavan’, he’s explored the mystical side of music. On the cricket field, he played professionally in the ’90s with the same precision and passion he brings to his craft. Somewhere between strumming guitars and hitting sixes, he found time to become an avid foodie, collecting culinary adventures as eagerly as he collects stories.
For Amir, storytelling is more than a career—it’s a bridge between worlds, between the real and the imagined, between the mundane and the magical. His columns invite readers to journey with him, find the extraordinary in the mundane, and explore life’s infinite possibilities.
So, whether you’re seeking marketing insights, tales of adventure, or a little inspiration to fuel your day, Amir’s stories are for you. Trust us, you won’t just read them—you’ll live them.
Amir is a man of many talents. From an embarrassing, yet fulfilling skiing experience in the Swiss Alps to skirting the cricket field in glorious movements, Amir’s column assures you of nothing short of spine-tingling adventure.
