Born, raised and educated in the UK, from a young age Sajid has always been an entrepreneur at heart. Sajid began his professional life as a consultant working for major financial blue-chip corporations around the world including Wall Street, City of London & the finance district of Moscow. Sajid moved to Malaysia in 2008 with his wife where he started a new chapter of community service and philanthropy.
Sajid has always been an avid traveller having visited over 91 countries to date, and where he began his journey to understand people and cultures.

One of his most recent initiatives is the hugely successful Marriage Conference events that recognise the needs of young people to find a suitable partner and offered counselling services to those encountering difficulties in their marriages. Sajid has since replicated this concept across the world and operates in 12 countries within 4 years including Australia, Bahrain, Canada, Kenya, Malaysia, Nigeria, Norway, Pakistan, Singapore, Sri Lanka, South Africa and United Kingdom whilst exploring entry into the USA and beyond.
