About Asim Haneef

In short...I am a Journalist-turned-entrepreneur based in SE Asia building fin-tech start-ups in emerging markets. I used to be a TV Producer/Journalist specialising in telling stories on social entrepreneurship, tech and education for some of the world's top broadcasters including Al-Jazeera English, BBC Worldwide, The Guardian, Huffington Post and Bloomberg - much of my work was focused on how tech could build a better world. I'm now trying to see if I can contribute more practically. In 2015 I co-created, developed and produced the 1st-ever Reality TV Show for Regular and Social Entrepreneurs in the Middle East called 'El Mashroua'​ (AKA: The Project) sponsored by Samsung and Google, with 20-million views it became one of the Top-5 TV Shows on the network - an 'edutainment' project designed to use the power of the mainstream media to promote a culture of innovation and entrepreneurship.A key theme across various projects I've worked on has always been: How can the power of the Media and Technology be harnessed to tackle entrenched social + environmental problems?However, if the first decade of my career was largely spent within the media telling these stories - I've recently begun the 2nd phase by getting hands-on in tech and start-ups in Asia, working my way up in a diverse range of roles including Product, Software Development, Business Development, Marketing and Operations across several B2B and B2C companies. I was previously the founder and COO of Paidup (www.paidup.io) - a mobile app in the fin-tech space recently named by E27 as one of the 57 fastest growing start-ups in Asia. (https://e27.co/57-rising-asian-startups-20170216/) I'm currently the CEO of UTAK (www.utak.ph) one of Asia's leading Fin-Tech Cloud POS + Inventory + E-commerce Solutions - helping business owners manage their real-time sales, inventory, employee attendance and more via a SaaS tablet-based product that works on Android, iPads or phones.

  • Vrumi
    Head Of Content And Marketing
    Vrumi Apr 2015 - Jan 2016
    London, United Kingdom, Gb
    Ever taken an Uber cab? Stayed in one of Airbnb’s private houses while on holiday? Perhaps you've made money renting out your home with One Fine Stay? If so, you’ve dipped a toe into the ‘Sharing Economy’, a buzzword currently tripping off the tongues of entrepreneurs and investors - and growing quickly. Vrumi is a newly-launched UK-based 'Sharing Economy'​ company that has recently been called 'The office version of Airbnb'​ by the Times Newspaper. It connects homeowners with empty space in their homes - to other people requiring a work or social space for the day. The homeowner makes money by renting out their empty living or dining room during the day (which would otherwise have just lying empty and wasted), and the guest finds a suitable, affordable and friendly space for their work and meetings - everybody wins. If you've ever found yourself walking around central London wondering how odd it was that you couldn't find a decent and affordable place to work or host an event, yoga class or meeting - whilst half of the capital's houses and properties lie empty all day - Vrumi solves that problem. Recent Media coverage includes: The Independent, The Times, The Next Web, Financial Times, Telegraph, Tech City News, Digital Trends and Harpers Bazaar. Website - www.vrumi.com Twitter - @Vrumi_HQ
