Starting as a programmer, Malik Irfan has evolved into a Serial Entrepreneur and Innovation thought leader. Today, he runs a Start-up Accelerator as well as a successful IT Consulting Company. He is also the president of AIBC (Australia India Business Council – a 30+ years old non-profit organisation).
There is a lot to learn from Malik’s experience – both in entrepreneurship as well as a corporate career.
Malik’s journey in short:
Malik was born and raised in Kerala. He worked for a couple of years with Tech Mahindra (then Satyam Computers). He then decided to build his own software development company. He managed to find his co-founders but moved to Australia for further studies. While pursuing his masters in Australia, he developed a strong network in the local community and that’s how he found his first client for his company. His business grew and he started to consult with large enterprises. His next opportunity came with a large financial services organsation where he stayed for about 10 years, delivering large digital programs and developing his leadership skills.
The credibility he built in Australia got him invited to middle east where he spent his next 2-3 years building innovative technology solutions.
Today, he runs a startup accelerator, is the CEO of his IT consulting company, is president of AIBC, and is also an investor in several tech startups.
