Born in Kochi, Kerala, Shakeel Hassan’s academic pursuits reflected the hallmark of a disciplined and ambitious mind. After completing his early education at Kendriya Vidyalaya, Pattom, Thiruvananthapuram, and pre-university studies at the prestigious Maharaja’s College in Kochi, he earned a degree in Mechanical Engineering with distinction from the National Institute of Technology, Calicut. He followed this up with a Diploma in Production Management from Annamalai University, a decision that would prove prescient in his future endeavours.

Shakeel Hassan’s leadership potential was evident early in his academic journey. During his time at the Regional Engineering College (REC) Calicut, he was elected Chairman of the College Students’ Union for the academic year 1986–87.

Not content with resting on past laurels, Mr. Hassan diversified further by joining Allstar Trading Co. and Unipack FZE. As Director of Operations, he successfully bridged professional AV equipment and foodstuff industries, drawing on his extensive experience to help these ventures carve out competitive niches in the Gulf and Azerbaijan markets.
