A track record built across three decades and seven countries — research funded and published, vehicles engineered for the world's marques, national policy frameworks authored, and systems running in cities today.
Policy & Government
Expert advisor to the federal standing committees on Clean Air and on Vehicle Emissions, 2025– ; testified on emission standards and air quality, Islamabad.
Member — advising on AI and emerging-technology policy at Prime Minister level.
Spokesperson for Pakistan's climate action groups, March 2022 and 2025.
Member, Theme II: Climate Change, Environment & Pollution, 2023–24 — alongside World Bank Country Partnership Framework consultations with the transport secretariat.
Author of the NEVP 2019 evaluation and gap analysis; advisory across NEVP 2025, Pakistan NDC 2.0/3.0, SDG-12 reporting, and clean-air programmes — culminating in the Pakistan Energy Vehicle Adoption Roadmap 2025–2030.
Plus coalition memberships across the Pakistan Renewable Energy Coalition, Alliance for Climate Justice & Clean Energy, National Energy Academic Network, and the Pakistan Air Quality Experts group.
Research & Development Funding
Selected programmes individually authored and won — from EU framework consortia to national vehicle programmes and climate funds. The record spans the founders' careers at prior institutions and companies; the expertise it built now lives in Aliera's practice.
National EV roadmap deployment, EV-ECO ecosystem, SLCP climate ambition, NEVP scoping, SDG-12 dashboard, WAQIA — 2020–25.
