Prof Ejaz Ahmed Farooqui has become one of the most sought after personalities in Karachi with his exceptional qualities of versatility.

After completing Masters in Chemistry from the University of Karachi, he started his career as a lecturer at PECHS Education Foundation Science College.

He has been in social service for a long time, running the Saarim Welfare Academy in Gulshan-e-Iqbal where free education is provided to the needy children.
