Hi, I’m Ajmal

From Digital Entrepreneur to Dubai’s Youngest BIM Consultant

Welcome to my personal website! I’m Ajmal, a passionate problem-solver, strategist, and the youngest BIM consultant in Dubai. From starting my first business at 15 to leading a reputed BIM consultancy in Dubai today, my journey is a mix of technical expertise, commercial success, and relentless ambition. Explore my work, insights, and story.
About Me

I was born and raised in Kannur, Kerala, with an early passion for sales and digital business. At 15, I launched my first online venture, ‘Brand Store,’ a dropshipping business running entirely on WhatsApp and Facebook. The reason I chose an online-only business was simple—introversion. I found it easier to communicate via text rather than face-to-face interactions. This allowed me to grow my business without the anxiety of in-person sales.

However, when I co-founded 7ELEVEN ADS in 2018 while in college, I had to step out of my comfort zone. At the time, there were very few marketing and advertising firms in Kerala, and I had to personally convince business owners that digital marketing could bring real value to their companies. Speaking in my native language, Malayalam, made it easier, but it was still a big leap from the online-only approach I was used to.

Despite not having an engineering background, I entered the BIM industry in Dubai and quickly mastered its technical and commercial aspects. My ability to learn and adapt allowed me to bridge the gap between business strategy and technology, making me stand out in the field. In 2023, at the Big Projects ME conference, I was honored as the Youngest BIM Consultant of the Year. By 2024, I had further solidified my expertise and reputation, earning the title again, with even greater recognition and responsibilities in the industry.
