Team

The founders

A focused founding team building Fayanex from the ground up — pairing lived industry experience with embedded and mechanical engineering.

Afrid Khan
01Vision & strategy

Afrid Khan

Co-Founder / CEO

BE · Electrical & Electronics Engineering

Afrid grew up inside the woven-bag industry — two decades of family business in bag conversion gave him a production-floor read on buyers, rejection rates and machine failure modes long before he trained as an engineer. He founded Fayanex to solve those problems with engineering: a second-generation industry insider rebuilding the machine rather than living with its limits.

Khazi Yousuf Ali Khan
02Embedded & operations

Khazi Yousuf Ali Khan

Co-Founder / COO

BE · Electronics & Communication Engineering

Khazi developed automotive embedded systems with the Volkswagen Group — functional-safety-grade software, real-time control and sensor fusion of exactly the kind that sits at the heart of Fayanex’s intelligence layer. He brings production-grade embedded and reliability discipline to the machine’s control architecture.

Syed Faizan Habeeb
03Design & market

Syed Faizan Habeeb

Co-Founder / CMO

BE · Mechanical Engineering

A mechanical engineer running Fayanex’s design function, Faizan bridges the commercial and the technical — turning buyer requirements and market positioning into machine architecture, and coordinating the design work behind it. In a deep-tech team, a commercial lead who can also read an assembly drawing is rare.
