Problem-Solving and Creating Value

Azam now lives in Dubai but was born and raised in Yorkshire. He started his journey as an entrepreneur in the property business, buying and renovating houses, then started larger-scale brownfield developments. Through that process, he discovered that building products were wordy, and people started buying things on the internet. He decided to try and sell stone products online. He felt It just made a lot of sense. It could be easier to shop for on the internet and make it more affordable; "everyone laughed at me and said, who would buy anything on the internet? And I said, well, I'm assuming they will. And so that was my first e-commerce business back in 2004."

Since then, Azam has built various other businesses across dental, mental health, and web 3 with different purposes and goals.  One of his most recent ventures is within the health and fitness space called Graftism. The first of many is a London-based gym that helps people achieve fitness goals, social aspirations, and personal needs.

Azam has yet again used his knowledge acquired over the years to understand what his consumers want and need to create added value for them.
