"The future I thought I would run away from given a chance turned out to be my reality today — not because of chance, but because of choice."

— Touseef Ikram, on LinkedIn, reflecting on his journey

That's not a fortune cookie. That's the kind of thing a man writes when he's spent two decades building things — websites, platforms, analytics tools, media products — and paused long enough to realise that the chaos was actually the plan all along.

📅 Career Highlights

A Career Built in Bold Moves

1998–2000

Mid 2000s

Flash animation + political satire + a stressed Pakistani mind = the internet's favourite stress reliever. 30+ animations published. Comments flooded in. The nation laughed.

2010s

🧠 His Secret Invention

G·P·L·L·G

Grand Probability of Life Looks Good

When Touseef wanted to help a friend do a self-discovery exercise, he didn't recommend a book. He built a formula. GPLLG is a cheat-sheet-turned-interactive-tool that measures your chances of a happy life ahead. It's part spreadsheet, part philosophy, part gamification — entirely Touseef. He then built an online "Self Discovery for Dummies" test around it. Because if you're going to figure out your life, you might as well have fun doing it.
