Abrar Ahmad
Founding Partner @ Travel Capitalist Ventures
Dubai, United Arab Emirates
Abrar Ahmad is a Series A investor at Travel Capitalist Ventures in Dubai focused on B2B and B2C. Abrar Ahmad’s career is a 24-year deep dive into the travel industry, born from the realization that the sector was fundamentally broken. He worked his way from travel agent to the owner of a 50-person OTA and eventually the CTO of a travel tech firm overseeing early consolidator booking engines. During that journey, he felt the pain of trying toscale in a sector with complex gatekeepers and very little specialized support. He founded Travel Capitalist Ventures in 2015 to bridge that gap. Now in his 11th year as founding Partner, Abrar has made 10 investments across 7 countries, focusing on the B2B "picks and shovels" that make global travel work. He serves on the boards of leading travel tech platforms, including the news aggregator Travel Trade Today and the Brazilian meta-search company Voopter alongside Oliver Samwer. A frequent speaker at events like the Step Conference and IATA World Passenger Symposiums, Abrar has been featured in Bloomberg, Skift, and CNBC. His guiding principle remains the same: Travel needs fixing. I back the fixers.
