Some stories are about building something from scratch. Others are about carrying a legacy forward and making it even stronger. Touqeer Malik's, Class of 1998, story is the latter.

Long before Touqeer stepped into leadership, his father, Muhammad Bashir Malik, laid the foundation of a family business in 1989 , a small logistics venture built on trust and vision. Touqeer, alongside his brothers, took on the responsibility of carrying that legacy forward, navigating market shifts and industry challenges while staying true to their father's founding values of precision and excellence. Today, that vision has grown into Bin Qutub Industries, a leading Tier 1 supply chain group in Pakistan, with Touqeer now serving as its CEO , driving innovation, efficiency, and reliability across the logistics and freight forwarding sector.

But Touqeer's impact goes beyond business. True to his family's values, he has remained deeply committed to giving back , his contributions to community welfare were recognized with an appreciation award from the Governor of Punjab, honoring the family's work through the Bin Qutab Foundation, which runs a charity hospital dedicated to mother and child healthcare in Chakwal.

Touqeer's journey is a powerful reminder that true success isn't just measured in growth and numbers , it's measured in the legacy you build, the people you uplift, and the values you choose to carry forward.

Congratulations, Touqeer , your leadership and legacy continue to inspire us all!
