About
Dr. Huzaifa qualified in Electronics and Communications Engineering in 1988. He started in industry, supervised at Tata Power and taught Electronics and Mathematics, then spent four years at HCL as a Training and Support Engineer, working directly with the people who used the technology.
In 1994 he became a director and entrepreneur. Over the next three decades he worked with clients and vendors, evaluated technology, signed contracts, made commercial calls and carried responsibility for what was delivered. He has seen enterprise communication move from cord and plug switching to IP and cloud.
Today he consults independently, teaches as visiting faculty, speaks, and mentors students, young professionals and entrepreneurs. What he offers is judgement built over a long working life, not theory alone.
