Dreams
Dr Akram Ahmad always dreamed of becoming a pharmacist and opening his own medical store. With unwavering support from his father, he was motivated to pursue higher education. After earning his doctorate in pharmacy, Dr Ahmad embarked on his professional journey, ready to make his dreams a reality.
Career in the medical field
While chatting with an American speaker at his university, Dr. Ahmad discovered the exciting opportunities available in the medical field abroad.

PhD from the University of Sydney
After working in Malaysia for a while, Dr Ahmad earned his PhD from the University of Sydney.

In 2022, Dr Ahmad left his well-paying job to launch 'Academically Global,' a healthcare EdTech startup designed to assist medical professionals in preparing for licensing exams for lucrative jobs abroad. Operating from both Sydney and India, the platform's curriculum supports students from over 75 countries around the world.
Investments and success
Dr Ahmad launched this platform with just $50,000 in initial capital. Today, thousands of students join the platform each month. The startup specializes in licensing exams, syllabi, and preparation strategies for various countries, making it easier for medical professionals to prepare effectively and secure well-paying jobs abroad.
