💡 Being good at comprehension/communication, I started my professional journey at 19 years of age in the BPO realm. Also worked as a content writer on Fiverr and it took off, but it still wasn't enough for me. Tried a few different job roles here 'n' there up until joining Standard Chartered Bank. Carrying the entrepreneurial germs within myself, running my own business had always been on my mind; that made me bid farewell to a corporate banking career.

🎯 In 2017, together my friend and I raised capital for our first real startup, Moos 'n' Clucks. Not long after its inception, our restaurant became talk of the town. Karachi's food scene embraced us and started loving our unique, American style fast food. It was such a rush for us!

🏆 We have since been featured in numerous magazines, websites, food forums, and TV channels. In our first year, we were nominated for "Best Burger Joint" by All Pakistan Restaurants Association alongside a handful of restaurant chains - all WAY bigger than us. Soon afterwards, we successfully franchised our brand to 4 different locations in Karachi - that too during peak COVID time.
