Knowledge. Identity. Nurture. Direction. Leadership.

Syed Rehan Hasan brings over 25 years of executive leadership in media and technology to KINDL — a career built around launching more than two dozen television channels, radio stations, and digital platforms, and around a consistent belief that media should stay open rather than concentrated. His current work extends that into the next shift entirely: advising organizations on navigating the move to AI, AR, and VR, and helping them build workflows for a future that's already arriving. As Director of the Riphah Institute of Media Sciences for over a decade, he led a deliberate shift away from a degree-centric model toward a skills-based one — the same instinct that shapes how KINDL itself is built.

Dr. Asad Ali Shah brings over 20 years across academia, media, and technology to KINDL. He holds a PhD in Sociology from the University of Saskatchewan, Canada, and has taught research methods and social sciences at the University of Saskatchewan, Riphah International University, and Iqra University. He's an HEC-approved PhD supervisor. Beyond the classroom, he founded the Informedis Digital Media Forensics Lab and co-founded Fake News Watchdog, a media literacy organization tackling misinformation in Pakistan — both part of KINDL's own Incubation portfolio. He's also CEO of the Technology Research and Innovation Markaz (TRIM), building research publishing platforms for universities and think tanks across the country.

Atif Riaz Shahid is a digital media strategist with over a decade of experience across marketing, journalism, and higher education. He's CEO of Spark Media Marketing, part of KINDL's own Incubation portfolio, where he leads digital campaigns and manages client and influencer partnerships. He also serves as a visiting lecturer at Riphah International University, where he designed and teaches the Digital Media Production course, bridging university coursework with real industry campaigns.

Salman Nasir leads partnerships, community, and media at KINDL. He's a multimedia designer, educator, and entrepreneurial strategist with over 15 years working at the intersection of creativity, design, and technology, holding a Master's in Multimedia Arts from the National College of Arts, Lahore. At NUST's School of Social Sciences & Humanities he trained over 400 students over nine years, designed and helped establish the Marketing & Communication Department, and was behind the creation of two research centres. In 2024 he co-founded ExploreX and started the TrulyPakistan project — selected among the top 30 of 1,100+ applicants in NIC's inaugural tourism cohort, and today a community-led initiative reaching over 3 million users.
