We are two ‘Khans’ - Yasser Masood and Gazanfarulla Khan - who also count as third-culture millennials (born in the GCC, citizens of India hailing from the city of Hyderabad). Picking up cultural traits of both our home and resident countries who want to keep you informed on all the quirky things that revolve around technology, consumer gadgets, social media, and digital-related topics across the Middle East and North Africa region (sometimes even in South Asia as well).

  • Everything aviation and travel in the Middle East at 36,000ft in Business Class

    Everything aviation and travel in the Middle East at 36,000ft in Business Class
    2025/04/04

    This episode takes us to new heights — literally in every possible sense — as we decided to try something new. Gazanfarulla Khan was travelling to Montreal, and we recorded our episode live while Yasser was at home.


    The venue and occasion made it quite an ideal scenario to discuss something relevant to the Middle East region - airlines/aviation/airports with the intersection of technology and AI, particularly focused on the advancements in the Middle East.


    Tapping into Starlink technology for the in-flight Wi-Fi to record the episode, we cover everything related to: the digitization of airlines and airports, innovations in air traffic control, and the importance of sustainability in aviation.


    On a future note: the possible return of hypersonic travel and growth in space tourism, Middle East's role as a hub for aviation innovation, and the significance of personalization in enhancing customer experience to remove pain points in the journey.


    Note: These are our individual opinions, as I used to work for an airline and Khan is still currently employed at an airline.

    DeepSeek R1, Road to Web Summit Qatar 2025, iHeartMedia going international, and Lenovo factory in Saudi Arabia,
    2025/02/05

    China just pulled the rug and surprised everyone with DeepSeek, made with less-powerful NVIDIA AI chips even with export restrictions. Web Summit Qatar is just few weeks away, with a surprise announcement by iHeartMedia looking to go international. Lenovo is building a manufacturing facility in Saudi Arabia, and some new features on Threads along with a major change to the Instagram profile grid. Plus, we decided to tease our plans for the next episode that is very LinkedIn-centric and requires input from our listeners.
