Ali Jehangir Siddiqui was born to Jehangir Siddiqui, a Pakistani businessman and entrepreneur, and Mahvash Siddiqui a university professor and philanthropist. At 15 years of age, he launched a technology business called Advance Micro Research, where he integrated computer network systems for corporations. After graduating from Cornell University in 1998, joining the family business was not even considered an option. Ali says, “There is a merit-based system in the family.” 


In other words, Ali had to prove himself before getting access to the family’s business empire. As a result, the opportunity to learn in a small company, his admiration for its management, which consisted of people he had already worked with during summer internships while he was in college, and his “love for Chinese food” took him to Hong Kong, where he worked for a private equity firm.


He was quickly promoted and by the end of his four-year tenure, the business had grown seven-fold. In May 2002, Ali got down to serious thinking and realised that family topped his list of priorities.


It was time to go back home. Ali expanded the scope of his family concern’s investments. It was his idea to invest in American Express Bank (now JS Bank), Pakistan International Container Terminal and Bank Islami. All this led Ali to where he is now — the managing partner of JS Private Equity Fund. His groundwork in Hong Kong paid off. He runs JS Private Equity Fund independently.
