Ahsan Tahir

Muhammad Ahsan Tahir is a Pakistani Entrepreneur, Media Strategist and Islamic FinTech Innovator based in Dubai. He operates on an international scale – leading initiatives across Pakistan, KSA, UAE, Lebanon, Egypt, South Africa and Turkey. Best known as the CEO and Co-Founder of Walee Group, Ahsan’s ventures in Media, Finance and Technology have gained recognition through the various awards won by his companies.

Under Ahsan’s leadership, Walee Technologies emerged as one of Pakistan’s most recognized media-tech firms, pioneering influencer marketing and data intelligence in the region. The company expanded operations to the UAE and Saudi Arabia, empowering creators and enterprises through AI-based marketing, analytics and performance solutions. Walee’s acquisition of Mirrorr.com in 2022 strengthened its MENA footprint, while its record-breaking streaming network for PSL X in 2025 underscored its growing influence in sports and entertainment technology.

Through Walee Financial Services, Ahsan spearheaded the launch of Hakeem, Pakistan’s first Shariah-compliant nano-financing platform. The initiative reflects his commitment to ethical finance and digital inclusion, offering riba-free and AI-driven micro-lending solutions to underserved communities. The company has since become a model for integrating fintech innovation with Islamic economic principles, promoting transparency and accessibility in financial services.

Before Walee, Ahsan founded Techlets – his first successful venture – which laid the foundation for his entrepreneurial journey. Techlets specialized in data analytics and custom software development, establishing his reputation as a capable innovator and technology leader early in his career. The company’s success provided the experience and insight that would later shape Walee’s multi-domain ecosystem.

Ahsan’s trajectory from software engineer to multi-sector founder reflects his broader passion – his interest of how narratives shape economies, cultures and businesses; and how ethical finance may enable mass communities without exploitation.
