Can you share a brief note about yourself?

I come from a pharmacy background and have spent nearly two decades in pharmaceutical sales across the UAE. Today, I'm the Founder and CEO of Doctak.net, a specialized, AI-powered platform designed to connect physicians and medical students through smart networking, clinical tools, and region-specific medical resources. Our mission is to empower the medical community by combining intelligent technology with real clinical needs.

Why did you choose to start a business?

I saw a clear gap in how physicians access digital tools, peer collaboration, and trusted resources. I wanted to transform this experience using intelligent technology and fulfill all the essential needs doctors have through one single, integrated platform.

How did you start your business?

It began with a simple idea during my time in the field. I validated the need, assembled a skilled development team, and built Doctak.net from the ground up. The early days were about listening to doctors, iterating fast, and staying committed to solving real problems.
