ABOUT KARAN & HUSSAIN

Hey friend, nice too meet you!

We’re Karan and Hussain, and our journey in the Middle East began in 2009 when we both moved to Bahrain, Karan from the UK and Hussain from Australia.

Over the years, we’ve built businesses, overcome challenges, and gained invaluable insights into what it takes to succeed in the Gulf’s unique business environment.

Karan: "When I arrived, I started a recruitment business called Bespoke Professionals, focusing exclusively on sales. For over a decade, I’ve been hiring, training, and placing top talent in the region. I also ran Baby Essentials, Bahrain’s largest baby product business, where I learned firsthand how to adapt to the local market and build trust with Gulf customers."

Hussain: "My journey started with founding H2M, Bahrain’s largest digital marketing agency. Over the years, I expanded into Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, the UAE, and even London. Along the way, I also opened multiple restaurants, including a popular spot called Londoner, and launched Flashh Deals, Bahrain’s biggest deals and offers app. These ventures taught me how to navigate the cultural nuances and build successful relationships in different industries."

Together, we’ve spent years understanding how to approach, communicate, and sell in the Middle East, a region where trust and relationships are everything.

We look forward to meeting you and working with you on your Middle East ventures.
