As President of Roshan Energy, I drive a nonprofit electric cooperative to deliver affordable electricity (14¢/kWh) to 13,000 households and 3,000 businesses in the Ismaili community across Dallas and Houston. With 8+ years in energy risk management and scheduling, complemented by AI integration (e.g., Grok), I oversee a financial model donating 100% of profits (post-$1M reserve) to the Aga Khan Foundation.
