I have taken the Herbal Medicine business, started in 1794 by my ancestors, to a new dimension where things have become automated. Currently our partnership company, Hashmi Surma, Pakistan is one of the biggest advocates of Corporate Social Responsibility. The company has assigned itself as a responsible part of society, provoking a philanthropic approach to all communities dealt with.
I feel the importance of how a sound mind and body can make you win on every horizon of business. I enjoy every moment with my family having also several memberships to many a reputable yet lavish recreational clubs, even going to gymnasium. I, like any other gigantic figures of past and present, have the opinion that support of wife is inevitable for a successful man.
