Muhammad Ali Lakhani was born in Dubai and spent his formative years between the UAE, United Kingdom and the USA.

From an early age Ali Lakhani had showed potential as a tennis player, a skill that was recognized by his father who encouraged and nurtured his skills. His early teens were spent balancing school and a rigorous training regime. Ali had the honor of playing for the UAE National Team and went to the USA to train at Saddlebrook Tennis Academy in Florida to develop his skills. Unfortunately due to a back injury he was unable to pursue his dream of becoming a professional tennis player so turned his sights on forming a career as an entrepreneur. Ali Lakhani then returned to the UK where he gained a bachelor’s degree in Maritime Business & Law.

Post-graduation Ali decided he wished to gain experience and remained in London working for a variety of multi-national companies. After accomplishing his goals in the UK Ali Lakhani moved back to the Emirates where he has been settled for the last 7 years. Outside of his professional life, Muhammad Ali Lakhani has a keen interest in technology, specifically unmanned aerial vehicles which he builds and tests as a hobby. He hopes that one day he will be able to integrate his hobby into his work by providing drone solutions as an additional service across the UAE’s ports with services ranging from aerial environmental & security surveillance to drone delivery services. Ali is also a keen sailor and obtained an RYA Level 2 Captain’s License.
