At the age where his peers are figuring out their studies or looking for a job, Azhar is spearheading a luxury brand while pursuing his bachelor’s degree in Business from the American University of Sharjah. Azhar is known for his never-ending zeal to learn and take up opportunities. He emphasizes that it is okay to make mistakes as they are lessons in disguise and stepping stones to becoming the best version of yourself.

From a young age, his unique ideas were evident. He would study situations carefully and offer accurate suggestions and critique to his father. He has trained as a management and sales intern at a family-run property business, interned at Dubai Cricket Stadium, managing works of tournaments of well renowned teams and also interned at Virgin Megastore for whom he sold AED 20,000 worth of electronic products. Even at his university, he has been active in co-curricular like organizing cricket tournaments, a university concert, and talent shows and has been the Public Relations Head of the Indian Cultural Club.

His venture, Casa Milano, is poles apart from the work of his father, uncle, and brother. Although the concept came to him early in 2018, Azhar took 1.5 years to execute and launch the showroom as he wanted to ensure that every detail was perfect, and no stone was left unturned. He started his journey early to gain experience and hopes that by the time he is 25 and done with his education, he would be groomed and ready to take up bigger challenges.

He knows that being born into a wealthy family usually elicits responses that are unfavorable for a particular person. But what he believes is that no matter what fortune you are born with, how you use what you already have determines whether you are going to keep your legacy or not.
