From Emails to Empowerment — The Story of Atiq NetworkingGuru
(As told by Rehan Allahwala)
In 1993, I was a 20-year-old with big dreams and no clue where to begin. The internet hadn’t landed in Pakistan yet — but something revolutionary had: email.
That’s when I met Atiq, a forward-thinking professional working at InfoLink, one of Pakistan’s earliest email service providers. He wasn’t just selling email addresses — he was opening the doors to the digital world for people like me.
With his support, I became a dealer for InfoLink, selling email services in a market that didn’t even understand what an “inbox” was. But Atiq did. He believed in this technology. He believed in people. And that belief shaped the beginning of my journey into tech and business.
Later, Atiq joined Jamal’s Yellow Pages, helping build another pillar of Pakistan’s early digital ecosystem. But no matter where he went, one thing remained the same:
He connected people — with opportunities, with knowledge, with each other.
⸻
Fast forward to 2025…
We met again — and it felt like no time had passed.
He was the same warm, wise soul… but with even more global stories, connections, and purpose.
He saw the impact of the “Wala” concept — where people own their mission and serve through it. In that moment, he didn’t just smile…
He transformed.
He proudly adopted a new identity:
Atiq Networking Wala – The Networking Guru.
But make no mistake — he’s always been that.
⸻
Why He Matters — Especially Now
Atiq bhai has:
Traveled the world
Built relationships across continents
Guided countless Pakistanis to global and local opportunities
Connected people with jobs, mentors, investors, and collaborators
He can tell you stories from Dubai to Dallas, from Lahore to Lisbon — and then turn around and connect you with someone you didn’t even know existed, right in your city or halfway across the globe.
He’s a living, breathing LinkedIn with a heart.
⸻
Invite Him. Talk to Him. Learn from Him.

• A podcaster looking for powerful stories
