Products spend months in design before a single line of code is written.
Even major MENA players promise flashy UX but launch with broken logic.
Endless RFPs and RFQs delay execution while the market moves on.
Eventually, panic kicks in – and you’re left with an MVP that’s over budget, over-scoped, and underdelivered.
They’ve never written code, scaled multi-million platforms,
or debugged a 2 a.m. production outages for startups..
I have. And so has my team.
Led by Khaleel Mughal – engineering leader for JD Sports, Majid Al Futtaim,
DAMAC and multiple funded startups
Affluence brings embedded, accountable, real-world tech leadership.
