I help people find their dreams — and build them.
From selling candy at eight to fifty-one ventures by thirty-six. Now I teach everything I know, so a billion people can learn, earn, and lift themselves out of poverty.
Who is Rehan
I was born in Pakistan, a country of 200 million people, into an entrepreneurial family that taught me to be independent.
I sold candies in my neighborhood at eight and stationery to classmates at ten. At thirteen I started my first company selling Commodore 64 games; by sixteen I was building modems and voice digitizers. By thirty-six I had run fifty-one different ventures — then I retired to teach, over the internet, everything I know.
With what my telecom company earns, I started a foundation that helps people find their dreams and fulfil them through entrepreneurship, and a school to teach a billion people basic literacy on a mobile phone.

What I can teach you
Everything we see around us — buildings, cities, even countries — was someone’s dream. Plant the seed, commit to it, and it will happen.
Rehan AllahwalaMy mission is to end poverty.
Not through charity, but through ability — teaching people to find their dreams and build them, and giving a billion people basic literacy on the phone already in their hand.
Let’s make a better place for everyone on the planet.
