About Me — Burhan Mirza
I am an entrepreneur, career coach and business advisor
Hi, my name is Burhan Mirza and the toughest question in an interview for me was ‘Tell us about yourself’ and not just for me but for a lot of us. When you want to tell someone about yourself, you don’t know where to start and it’s exactly the case here. I am Burhan Mirza, a founder, an angel investor, entrepreneur, career and life coach and a corporate mentor.
Genuinely, deep down if you ask me, I think I am still a ‘nobody’ who is trying to create an impact in society which will eventually define my identity. For this purpose, I have co-founded The Coach360 and Skills 360 where we focus on personal and professional development of people from all walks of life. Our value lies in bridging the gap between personal aspirations and professional achievements with an authentic, practical, and results-driven approach ensuring every tool makes a tangible difference.
Early Life:
As a kid, I always wanted to become a football player and had also joined different academies and coaches for training but as life happened, all these things became secondary. The urge for a stable career would trespass all my dreams of becoming a football player as there was very little scope for anything similar in Pakistan. I went to the US for my higher studies and there I saw the other side of the world which was way ahead in time compared to my homeland. I wanted to do something similar and got on it from the moment I returned to Pakistan. I started by working in different companies, where I laid the foundation for not just my career but also my personal life — I was lucky enough to find the love of my life in one of these companies.
Present:
I have now dedicated most of my time to uplifting society and am trying to give back to my country. Pakistan is facing a massive brain drain and all I am concerned about here is losing the best minds of the country to other countries. Is it even my problem though? I think it is! If everyone neglects it because it’s not their problem then we will be left with nothing. Even in my investment portfolio, I prefer companies that actually make a positive impact on other people’s lives.
Future:
No, I don’t intend to become the Donald Trump of Pakistan and run for the presidency. I just want to play my role in what we can achieve as a society so that at least the next time I write this, I don’t have to introduce myself.
