Qureshi has stated that being the first child in the family and seeing the truly hard work his parents had put to mold their lives in the right direction made him the humble and grounded person he is today. The passion and courage he has seen in his grandfather and father to build a life that suited them is and will always be his true inspiration in life, as it always reminds him, of how it all started and what his roots are and gives him the courage and zeal needed to stay positive and ambitious in life.

Coming from an entrepreneurial background Qureshi is an absolute entrepreneur himself, he has been in the restaurant hospitality business since 2019 with his first restaurant named Film City under his restaurant label Royal Restaurants Ltd. as an honor to his father's film distribution company. Film City is a fine diner known for its amazing cuisine and the glam-filled guests it hosts from all over the Bollywood and Tollywood industry. The Great Indian Dhaba and 18th Century are the other two restaurant chains he is building across the country.

Fodxpert
Qureshi always had a strong connection to the hospitality industry because he knew all about the little to massive details and obstacles that a restaurant owner has to go through since he was and is the owner of the best fine diners in the nation. In 2019 everything changed as the pandemic hit, the hospitality industry collapsed and people who had devoted their whole lives to this industry for years had to leave, give up or endure the struggle but the pandemic stayed longer than anticipated. It was during this time Qureshi and Khushi Singh, who is currently the CEO and co-founder of Fodxpert, came up with the brilliant idea for a platform that would allow restaurant owners to make a profit in addition to gaining stability and basically have a second revenue regenerating source. A platform made to connect restaurants with brands and make a profit by advertising in addition to gaining stability in the given situation. The all-women organization aimed to become the OTT platform in the food industry. That is dedicated to organizing events and bringing brands and the restaurant industry closer.

The basic idea of this firm was built on the belief that even though the pandemic ends the restaurants which endured the losses during it, will require a huge hand up to gain stability, and also for the ones who had to give up, will require a platform that would promise to provide profits through different sources if not just the dinners.

The working concept of Fodxpert
Fodxpert generates revenues for partner restaurants by getting brands on board and advertising them on the Fodxpert screens in the restaurants. The working of the application is quite simple yet delivered as it is based on two basic understandings of the present audience/dinners. First, even though there are n number of advertising platforms today, visual advertising always stood, as it not only engages the audience but also if delivered properly persuades them to invest as well. Second, everything is online, more handy meaning with a skip button at the reach of the audience, one of the biggest reasons for the shift of audience from television screens to mobile phone screens was the fact that nobody has the patience to sit through advertisements anymore, also the fact that a skip button is always available so nobody has to wait. Fodxpert team members researched and concluded that due to the pandemic the want to explore and experience would increase in the audience as they were deprived of it for a long, audience/dinner would want to try good food in restaurants, and this was the time that Qureshi and Singh realized they had discovered the marketing loophole of this era, advertising in restaurants with non-skippable ads that are muted meaning with zero noise interference so that the ambiance experience for the audience/dinners are not hampered The Fodxpert technical team mounts these screens at a height that is visible to every diner in a restaurant. The revenue generated is then distributed to the restaurant owners, again in a transparent manner, thanks to the core research team and technical team for an application developed by INT that displays daily playing ads alongside the daily revenue generated for restaurants. This is the first application of its kind made specifically for brands and restaurants. Brands can see which restaurants are running their advertisements through the application, and restaurant owners can look into the income generated by the number of ads run so far.
