Success does not come overnight. It takes hard work, learning, and patience. My name is Muhammad Farrukh Ayaz, and my journey from being a hotel receptionist to becoming the owner of a digital marketing institute and agency is a story of growth and determination.
I started my career in 2015 at Mirpur Apartments & Hotel and worked hard to reach higher positions. While working in the hotel, I learned digital marketing online. This skill changed my life. In 2019, I left my job and started my own business in digital marketing. Today, I run Mavens Marketing Agency and Mavens Academy, where I teach students digital marketing and work with international clients.
This is my journey of learning, growing, and helping others.
Starting My Career – A Hotel Receptionist in Mirpur (2015)
After completing my graduation from Azad Kashmir University in 2015, I started my first job as a receptionist at Mirpur Apartments & Hotel. In this role, I welcomed guests, managed bookings, and handled customer service.
I worked hard and got promoted to Customer Relations Officer, then to Sales & Marketing Manager, and finally to General Manager. This job helped me learn about business, sales, and marketing.
Discovering Digital Marketing – Learning Online
While working in the hotel, I saw the power of online marketing. I started learning Facebook Ads, Google Ads, SEO, and social media marketing. I applied these skills to the hotel’s business and got great results.
By 2019, I became confident in digital marketing. I saw that many businesses needed online marketing services. I decided to start my own business and teach others these skills.
Starting My Own Business – TEKSKILL (2019–2023)
In 2019, I co-founded TEKSKILL, a digital marketing training institute and agency. Here, I trained 500+ students in digital marketing. Many of them are now working at national and international levels. Some have even started their own marketing agencies and are earning well.
We also provided digital marketing services to different businesses. This experience gave me confidence to expand further.
A New Vision – Mavens Marketing Agency & Academy (2023-Present)
In 2023, I launched Mavens Marketing Agency and Mavens Academy in Mirpur, Azad Kashmir. This business was created with a clear mission—to train students in digital marketing and help businesses grow online. I saw that many young people in Azad Kashmir had talent and potential, but they lacked proper training and guidance. Through Mavens Academy, I wanted to bridge this gap by providing high-quality, practical education in digital marketing.

Many of our students have secured jobs, freelancing opportunities, and even started their own digital marketing businesses.
We are proud that our students are now working with international clients from the UK, USA, the Middle East, and Europe. This is just the beginning, and our goal is to train thousands more and create more job opportunities in Azad Kashmir and beyond.

In December 2024, I had the opportunity to attend the Connected Pakistan Conference, an event that brought together some of the best minds in the tech and business industry. This conference was a turning point for me, as it opened my eyes to new possibilities in eCommerce. Seeing the rapid growth of online businesses and digital stores, I realized the need to introduce Shopify training and services at Mavens Academy.
After returning from the event, I took immediate action and launched Shopify training programs to help people start and grow their own online businesses. This step was a game-changer, as it provided students, entrepreneurs, and businesses with the skills to build, manage, and market eCommerce stores effectively.
Looking Ahead – My Future Goals (2025 & Beyond)
As I look back at the last 10 years, I feel proud of how far I have come. However, I know that there is still a lot more to achieve. My goals for 2025 and beyond are focused on growth, empowerment, and expansion.
I plan to train more students across Pakistan and Azad Kashmir, ensuring that young people gain valuable digital skills that can help them build successful careers. I also aim to expand Mavens Academy and Mavens Marketing Agency internationally, working with more global clients and bringing digital marketing opportunities to Pakistan.
Conclusion – Hard Work Always Pays Off
From starting as a hotel receptionist in 2015 to becoming the owner of a successful digital marketing institute and agency in 2025, my journey has been one of continuous learning and growth. It was not always easy, but dedication and persistence helped me move forward.
