The Incredible Story of a $X00,000,000 Business Built in 3 Years | Powerry

I had the pleasure of interviewing Abdumalik Mirakhmedov and Andrey Kim - the co-founders of Powerry and Scalo Technologies.

They hail from Uzbekistan/Kazakhstan and have built amazing 9-figure businesses from scratch in that part of the world. I can't reveal the exact amount due to confidentiality but its big!

Borat gives a bad name to Kazakhstan but Abdumalik and Andrey gives a real insight into this fascinating region and how practicing Muslims live in this region.

In this podcast they share their story, how they started business, entrepreneurial lessons, what role Islam has to play in their careers, and what the future holds. A must-listen for anyone interested in entrepreneurship.

Who are we:
We are two Oxford grads who have studied Islamic finance both at uni and classically for over 6 years. We quit our corporate law jobs to go full-time on IFG in 2020. We are on a mission to help 25% of the world's population with their personal finances.

Islamic Finance Guru (IFG) is an Islamic finance comparison and analysis site that helps people with their investment, personal finance and entrepreneurial journeys.

We do this for one reason: to make our community better-off. We want to take Muslims from being among the poorest in society to the richest. We think that this is the most effective way to deal with problems like discrimination, under-representation and poverty. For more about the team visit: https://www.islamicfinanceguru.com/about-us
