Every year hundreds of talented, aspiring and young students graduate from business universities. As a result, they end up performing the same repetitive tasks which waste their own talent as well as their energy to get to the point they dream of. However, they can now automate their repetitive work with the help of Aitomation.
A Pakistani startup known as the Aitomation, is trying to help their fellow business students by making bots. They will help the students/employees to do the boring yet necessary work.
Saad and Umair: The brains behind Aitomation
Saad Ehsan is the Chief Operating Officer (COO) at Aitomation. His younger brother, Umair Ehsan is the Chief Executive Officer (CEO). Saad joined Pakistan’s biggest textile industry Nishat soon after he graduated from Easter Mediterranean University, Cyprus. He left the job quite soon since his interest in the job got blown as he did the same repetitive work every day. Later on with the help of his smart brother Umair, he started the setup known as Aitomation.
As far as Umair is concerned, he is a college dropout and an engineer by profession. He left his college due to its education system. He is now a business partner with his brother and CEO of the Pakistan’s upcoming and promising business Aitomation.
About Aitomation
The main purpose of Aitomation is to help students with their repetitive tasks for which they use software that automates repetitive tasks on computer. Unlike other different companies in the field that sell products, Aitomation sells services with customized solutions. In addition, the needs are served according to the demand of the customers.
Aitomation basically creates a customized bot that automatically does what the client requires. This work is almost totally automated. For instance, if you want the data of real estate daily from a single website or more, for a personal user he would have to visit the website each day. However, in the case of Aitomation, they will create a bot that will provide you the whole data on daily basis in a neat excel sheet.
Posting replies on Facebook, tweets, compilation of songs and videos on YouTube is just a sample. These bots can perform almost all of the daily tasks that business employees hate doing. Saad stated:
“You name it, we can automate it”
International expansion
The team is currently looking to spread its operations internationally. They have clients from United States to Australia. Even the former employer of Saad, Nishat Linen is also their client.
It was initially incubated at LUMS Center for Entrepreneurship. Moreover, they also managed to secure incubation at Silicon Valley based incubator. Thereafter, it managed to secure the place in the top 10 list of incubators at Forbes.
Sharing his experience at the Founders Space, Saad commented:
“Not only do you get feedback on what you’re doing, but you can put that against perceptions and visions of people from all across the globe, which really helps you planning how you’re going to do work on your own startup”
It is for sure that the demand for this kind of automated solution is increasing so they are currently focusing their efforts in the western markets as Saad believes that there is a growing need of setups like Aitomation in US and Europe. Since they do not have enough cheap labor, they mostly rely on automated tasks for economic stability. This is exactly the type of market that Aitomation has started for because that is what they do best. It is hoped that in the coming days they will exploit such market and gain the highest profit from them.
