MCCI Pune - Founders Message

It gives me immense pleasure to welcome you to the Muslim Chamber of Commerce and Industries (MCCI), Pune. Our organization was founded with the deep belief that the power of business and industry can be a force for positive change in society. As an entrepreneur and social reformer, I have always believed that economic empowerment, education, and community service go hand in hand to build a strong and prosperous community.

Having spent many years designing and manufacturing industrial solutions, I witnessed firsthand the immense potential for innovation and growth within our community. But I also saw the challenges faced by many aspiring entrepreneurs, especially from the less privileged sections. It was this realization that inspired me to establish MCCI Pune in 2011–12 – a platform that unites the business community from trade, commerce, and industry to promote entrepreneurship, provide networking opportunities, and foster sustainable development.

Our journey has been deeply rooted in the values of service, compassion, and empowerment. Alongside MCCI, I have been involved in several social initiatives—establishing the Span Welfare Charitable Trust, Darul Qaz’a Dispute Resolution Centre, and Span International Academy—to support education, employment, and social justice, particularly for those who need it most.

MCCI Pune is more than just a chamber of commerce. It is a family, a movement, and a vision to see our community thrive in all spheres of life, while contributing positively to society at large. I invite all members, partners, and well-wishers to join us in this journey toward shared growth, inclusivity, and excellence.

With sincere gratitude and best wishes for your success,
