Asad is an enterprising leader who has always passionately responded to the call of learning.  Although he is a Cost Accountant with an MBA in Finance from UK who started his career in a multi-national freight forwarding company, Asad realised early on that he has to step out of his comfort zone to discover his true purpose. His fondness for nature contributed towards his wanderlust and inspired him to establish Catwalk Holidays Private Limited in 2011. As an out of the box travel entrepreneur he undertook some landmark travel initiatives and discovered unconventional destinations that inspired passionate tourists to explore offbeat locations.

Asad’s research insights, database and intensive knowledge to build customized travel software gave him the opportunity to contribute as a Chief Product & Technical Consultant of Trip Factory Pvt. Ltd, India’s largest holiday store.

As a passionate travel expert, Asad imparted destination management & package tour industrial training for the students of DSMS College of Tourism and Management. This was an inflection point in his career that laid the foundation of his travel and tourism training venture – The Niche Tourism Academy.

After 15 years’ of versatile professional experience, Asad believes success is not only about earning money but also about acquiring knowledge. With Niche Tourism Academy, Asad dreams to contribute towards nation building by preparing competent talents for the growth of tourism industry.
