The youngest TED Global fellow. 

He can make you sway to the Sitaar.

Soothe your soul with the piano.

Make you go weak in the knees by playing the mouthpiece.

All in all, he’s a pretty cool guy.

He’s so cool that he’s even jammed with his idol and hero, Preston Reed – world-famous percussion guitarist.

And he’s also lucky to be in love with his best-friend. Awww.

Now, he’s started his own animation studio by the name of Mano Animation Studios where he wants to ” support new work, and seed opportunities to support a new generation of exceptional artists in Pakistan, and beyond.”

His project, The Glass Workers, would be a one-of-a-kind studio at par with those in big animation houses in Japan.

And, we’re digging it.
