AHMED SALAHUDDIN

Ahmed Salahuddin is an Indian entrepreneur, investor and spiritualist who currently lives in Cardiff, United Kingdom. He currently serves as the Chairman of Salahuddin Business Associates (SBA).

Early Life and Education: Ahmed was born in Dubai, the son of a renowned Sunni Muslim business family, hailing from Kilakarai, in the south of India. He earned his Business Management degree, from Case Western Reserve University in 1993, and is well-versed in Arabic, English and Tamil.

Career: In 1997, Ahmed joined his family business, ETA Star, where he was actively involved in various business verticals including real estate, agriculture, event management, supply chain management, food and beverage, retail, steel manufacturing and small-scaled power generation industries. He has been recognized as a major contributor towards developing and building cement factories in the UAE, Bangladesh, Sudan, Bahrain and Yemen. However, inspired by C. Sivasankaran, his growing interest in the stock market paved the way for his transition from manufacturing to trading in 2010. This eventually, led him to form Salahuddin Business Associates in 2013, a fund management company, where he serves as Chairman to this day.

Board Memberships and Affiliations: Managing Director, Star Cement in the UAE, spanning across the emirates of Ras Al Khaimah, Ajman, Abu Dhabi; and in Bahrain, Yemen and Sudan. Former Board Member of Etisalat, India Former Board Member of Saradu Palm Plantation, Malaysia Former Director of Ajman Ports, UAE

Philosophy and Spirituality: Salahuddin sees himself as an observer and a critic. He believes that ‘life has no purpose’ and that everything in the Universe has a specific cause and effect; (there is no cause without an effect, nor is there an effect without a cause). In 2010, he stumbled across the ancient Hawaian technique of Ho’oponopono, which unraveled to him newer worlds in metaphysics, ancient history and spirituality across religions. As a result, his open-minded passion to religious questions and esoteric ideas are regularly criticized for being controversial or damning.

Art: In 2014, Ahmed’s passion for psychedelic and digital art led him to launch an online art gallery by the name of AASOBE on Instagram. His art tells stories of his mystical experiences, inner world of lucid dreams and mindful journeys, and has an indescribable way of helping him connect with the spiritual plane. He is fascinated by interplay of colour, shape and form in the natural world, and believes that imperfections and oddities are what makes the world interesting. In his opinion, “Art is a language that can be made communicable rather easily if you are able to see beauty in everything around; in every vibration and energy of every shape, form and colour. ” Ahmed's distinct style has left art lovers mesmerised. Something that only he can do. His virtual gallery on Instagram is @aasobe.
