Arif Iqbal is the co-founder and Chief Executive Officer of LAAM, a fast growing fashion marketplace from Pakistan. He launched the company with a clear goal, to take South Asian fashion to a global audience through technology.
Before starting LAAM, Arif built his career in the international tech industry. He worked at major global companies, including Microsoft, eBay, Pinterest, and Meta. These roles gave him strong experience in product development, data systems, and large scale online platforms. After spending years abroad, he returned to Pakistan to build a tech-driven business in the fashion sector.
Founded in 2021, LAAM connects local designers and brands with customers worldwide. The platform offers thousands of fashion products, including luxury wear, bridal outfits, and everyday clothing. It supports designers not only with online sales but also with logistics, payments, and digital marketing tools.
Under Arif’s leadership, LAAM has expanded quickly and attracted strong investor interest. The company raised 5.5 million dollars in seed funding from international venture capital firms, helping it grow in key markets such as the Middle East and the United States.
Arif Iqbal’s focus remains on combining technology with cultural creativity. He aims to build a global brand that highlights South Asian design while using modern tech systems to support sellers and customers alike.
