I build companies out of Kabul. Everything below is just receipts. Veyaarh Holding Group started at a corner table in a cafe in Kart-e Char, funded with freelance design money. It now operates across the USA, China, and Afghanistan. I'm co-founder and CEO, which mostly means I'm the one who says yes and then figures it out. LIVE AND EARNING Ayen Creative Agency, our creative arm, 50+ international clients. Zdakra, e-learning built for Afghan learners. IN BUILD (THE FUN PART) FoundrOS, startup infrastructure for founders whose uncle is not a VC. helpX, an AI customer service agent handling voice and text in Dari, Pashto, and English, because "we'll get back to you soon" is not a support strategy. Dodai, almost out the door. seenX, currently being incorporated, which is the least glamorous stage of any company's life. Awaaza and KAAR are fully planned and sitting patiently in the drawer. Their turn is coming. OUTSIDE THE GROUP Licensee and Director of TEDxShar e Naw. 9+ events, 2,000+ attendees. Kabul has never been short on people with something to say. It's short on stages, so we built some. Co-director of Startup Grind Kabul. Everything I do circles one question: how do you get people to trust a brand when you can't afford to buy that trust? I got tired of answering it in DMs, so I wrote a book. The Bootstrapped Brand, built on the Brand OS framework (Signal, Story, System, Scale, Soil). Out November 1, 2026. I still touch the work too. Brand strategy, creative direction, film. Certified in DaVinci Resolve, Google digital marketing, PMI business development, and mobile UX. My inbox is open if you're building in an emerging market, need a creative partner who understands constraints, or just want to argue about branding.
