A trailblazer and a philanthropic icon, he pioneered numerous initiatives to empower the underprivileged. I had the honor of visiting the Hyderabad Institute of excellence (HIE) during my last visit to Hyderabad. HAWMA has been a huge supporter of all his initiatives over 3 decades under the guidance of our chairman Mr. Mohsin Ali khan. May Allah swt grant Ghaisuddin Sir Jannah and patience to his family, Ameen!
