Proven experience running errands and tasks for clients abroad — now bringing the same trusted service to NYC.
Before arriving in New York City, I ran a trusted local-hand service in Lahore, Pakistan, dedicated to helping overseas Pakistanis get things done back home. That experience taught me the principles I still follow today: understand what the client exactly requires, work out the exact path/ procedure to be followed for execution of the task in agreement with the client, follow the set path precisely, keep clients informed at every stage, and never take on a task I am not confident I can execute properly.
Document Verification
Visited the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to get documents authenticated and verified on behalf of clients abroad.
Contact Reconnection
A client with only a school friend's old address asked me to visit in person and speak with residents — successfully reconnecting them.
Property Inquiries
A client wanting to transfer a plot to his son's name — I visited the relevant office, learned the exact procedure, and reported back step by step.
Property Photography
A client interested in buying a property asked me to visit and take detailed photos so they could make an informed decision from abroad.
Shopping & Shipping
Sourced traditional dresses requested by a client and arranged international shipping to their address abroad.
On-Site Project Oversight
A client struggling to get a textile order executed asked me to be physically present at the supplier's office to ensure the process moved forward.
Until a task is completed, I keep my clients informed of each stage with photos, videos, and written updates. This enables us both to be on the same page - from the beginning to the end.
However, I have always declined, and will continue to decline, any request where legal or financial ambiguity exists. I will not take on any task that is illegal under the U.S. and New York laws.
