Biography
Sohail is a staunch believer of human potential and disregards the very idea of labeling human as a ‘resource’. He looks at human being as magnificent possibility.
Described as “a little learning master,” Sohail teaches leaders and organizations how to nurture people for exceptional performance. Sohail is literally leading a movement to inspire people about work and transform organizations and leaders so they can provide the necessary ambiance.
In 2018, Sohail curated “Insights Business Forum,” a platform for breakthrough business and leadership insights. IBF intends to create transformational experiences to inspire people and organizations with actionable ideas. The goal is to produce and distribute world-class content to help companies and individuals to improve the way they manage their organizations and themselves. The event offers impressive speaker lineup, high impact presentations, discussion around contemporary business challenges and bright-minded attendees.
In 2019, Sohail presented “Leadership Academy” in Karachi with 430 people in attendance. This by far was the biggest gathering in a learning program, ever hosted in Pakistan. His most recent obsession is his latest program, “Management Innovation Masterclass”. This is a program, exclusively designed for c-suite executives, as it takes up the challenge of reinventing the management culture and reimagine the bureaucratic fabric of an organization.
He has devoted his life to sharing his thinking in order to help other leaders and organizations develop an agile learning culture. Sohail’s unconventional and disruptive views on talent, learning, leadership and business have attracted significant attention. Sohail spends a significant time studying individuals, teams and organizations to understand what makes world-class performers, summarizing it, and sharing it with the world. By focusing on everything from transformational leadership to talent maximization and strategy, to the spread of happiness and meaning at work, Sohail has been able to motivate and inspire countless people and is showing no intent to stop.
Sohail lives in Karachi, Pakistan and at various airport departure lounges.

What Client Say...
Recently, I had the incredible privilege of working with Sohail Zindani from Karachi, Pakistan. What a remarkable colleague! He has astute insight on how to manage individual talent, develop leaders, and create organization capabilities and cultures. In public discussions and private conversations, he “knows his stuff.” He is passionate about generating new ideas that will have impact and he is gifted at generalizing those ideas through his stage presence. But, most important, he is a remarkable human being, focused on caring, service, and helping others find meaning. And, he has accomplished much at a very young age. It is such a delight to endorse and recommend him to those who want to improve their personal skills or create stronger organizations.
