Hi, I’m Osama Bin Jannat · Chief People Officer
I work from Islamabad and build teams for companies in the US and the Gulf. I joined one with no HR function at all and hired 150+ people into it. I also do the marketing side, because the reason good people say yes is rarely the job description.

PresentA study abroad platform helping students find universities, scholarships and admissions routes they would otherwise never hear about.
The same operating question in four shapes: how do you get the right people to the right work?
Universities, scholarships and admissions in one place
ScholyHub helps students find the right university abroad without paying an agent to guess for them. It maps programmes, scholarships, intakes and entry requirements into a single searchable layer, then walks applicants through the paperwork that actually decides outcomes. Most of our users are first-generation applicants from South Asia, Africa and the Middle East.

Remote roles matched to real career paths
Remotire connects remote-first companies with candidates outside the usual hiring markets. Every listing is screened for genuine remote policy, stated pay and a real hiring manager. The platform grew out of watching strong Pakistani talent lose global roles to nothing more than a broken application process.

AI and software products built for global clients
Zikra Infotech builds AI and software products for clients across the US, UK, Gulf and Australia. I own the people function — hiring, structure, performance and the operating rhythm that lets delivery teams ship without a manager standing over them. The company went from a small engineering group to 100+ professionals under that system.
An AI-powered CRM that closes the loop
Z360 is a CRM built for teams that live in their pipeline rather than their reporting tool. It captures every call, message and email, then uses AI to summarise the account, flag risk and write the next follow-up. I manage the people side — hiring the team that builds and sells it, and keeping the structure sound as it grows.
Companies on one side, talent that never reaches them on the other. I hire across that gap from Islamabad.
For roles your local market fills too slowly, or not at all.
Shape
Per search. Weeks, not months, for most roles.
For companies that hired past their structure.
Shape
Ongoing. At Zikra Infotech: no HR function on arrival, 150+ hired.
For founders who need a diagnosis, not headcount.
Shape
Scoped to a question. One call to start.
All three start the same way: a short note about the roles or the problem as you see it, then a call where I ask questions rather than pitch. Write to me or book thirty minutes.

Essays on hiring systems, people operations and putting AI to work in a real business.
Hiring plans, org design, a team that has outgrown its structure, or something else entirely. The specific version of the question gets the better answer.
