Mohammad Shadaan Husain: Determined to help those who need it and more importantly, who deserve it, Mr. Husain is a Social Entrepreneur and Digital Evangelist. Professionally, he's a Cyber Risk Advisor at Deloitte, the world's largest professional services firm, besides being a Strategic Advisor to the Board of EditSoft Digital, a Digital Marketing enterprise. He's also a Blogger and a tech-Entrepreneur, having run multiple businesses in various leadership and advisory roles. He finds his interest in Sociology, Economics, and Behavioural Sciences, other than his core subjects of Engineering and Management. 

He believes everybody deserves a chance to work for the dream of their lives, a chance to relish their story. Some people are scared, while some have stopped dreaming at all as the prevailing situations won’t allow them. This is where HE comes in. The master of a sharp and penetrating persona, he dreams of making other’s dream a reality. A powerful and inspiring speaker, a humble man and a visionary, he makes life enriching and significant in all of what he does.

A cheerful person always in high spirits, a poet at heart, a philanthropist and a literary artist, he is very clear about his intentions for Dastaan. Enormously dedicated to his work, he loves perfection and aims for it with every shot that he gets. He puts his faith in the power of youth and takes challenges head on. Being the perfectionist that he is, he works on unmoved, without a bit of rest until the task is done. Also an adventurous fellow, he loves to travel, and grasps every new adventure that he comes across. He is also passionate about photography and loves reading, specially philosophy, history, and leadership texts.

He has always been a co-ordinator and loved working on things that are worthy for someone, somewhere.  Dastaan is dedicated to the cause of life, the cause that has been his dream. He wishes to see it in every other person, a saga of his Life, that’s worth listening!

As in his words,

“Dastaan is the life in a million beating hearts, and here we are, devoted to them.”

The essence of his vision can be drawn in from the fact that he chose 'Dastaan' as the name for his vision, because of his strong belief that it is a never ending saga; a saga of hope, a saga of humanity, a saga of life..!!'
