When Burhan isn’t immersed in researching investment opportunities or executing trades, he can be found exploring the Great White North during the summer months or unwinding at home, taking in the excitement of Formula One Grand Prix. He finds his sense of calm and tranquility in the simple pleasure of sipping his cup of chai (not chai tea).

Whether he is analyzing pit stop efficiencies or reviewing market cycles, Burhan carries that adrenaline-fuelled discipline into everything he does.
