S1E9: Shahed Amanullah | Silicon Valley, Start-Ups and Muslim potential

  • Summary

  • If there is anyone who has walked the world through his career, its Shahed Amanullah. He's worked at several major engineer firms, at the World Bank, in real estate development and a in the US State Department. But these jobs have only been in between what Shahed is truly passionate about - creating, leading and supporting impactful start-ups. A Silicon Valley native, he founded Zabihah.com - a Yelp for Muslims (before Yelp was a thing), Zakatify - an app changing the way we do Zakat and is currently the founder and CTO of Affinis Labs. We cover all bases with Shahed - from Muslims in Silicon Valley, to what makes a successful start-up and how Muslims should approach business today. The Transit Lounge chronicles the journeys of people who’ve had a considerable impact on the Muslim world. In season 1, we hear from successful entrepreneurs, academics, scholars and politicians. Hosted by Mohamad Zaoud, each episode explores the highs and lows of our guests, and tackles the question of our time - what does it take to find balance when living a contemporary Muslim life. Mohamad Zaoud is a brand enthusiast and consults businesses and NGOs on brand & growth strategies. He’s currently the Manager of Digital Growth – EMEA, and formerly Head of Marketing MENA, at Al Jazeera Media Network where he’s worked on flagship brands including Al Jazeera and AJ+.
