The Journey

To Becoming the Youngest Real Estate Billionaire Globally and the Youngest Arab Billionaire

2017 -

The First Entrepreneurial Venture

At just 18 years old, Sajwani launched AHS Group, creating a platform for investments and entrepreneurial ventures across multiple sectors. Early businesses — from technology ventures to service enterprises — gave him hands-on experience in building and operating companies, while profits were reinvested into financial markets and global investment opportunities.

Mastering Capital Markets

During a period of significant global market volatility, Sajwani expanded his investment portfolio through disciplined capital market strategies. These early experiences shaped an investment philosophy centred on timing, patience, and identifying undervalued assets with long-term potential — principles that would later guide his approach to real estate development.
