About Me
Hi, I'm Junaid Khalid, the Founder and CEO of Ertiqah, the team behind Locul. I'm a generalist with professional experience in Sales, Marketing, Customer Support, AI Research & Development.
I've consulted enterprises like NASA, Wipro, British MOD, Tata Consultancy Services, Saudi Airlines, and 100s of SMBs, MSPs & VARs across EMEA & APAC region.
Outside work, I love traveling and exploring new cultures (crossed 10+ countries off the list so far); it keeps me inspired and energized!

Talking with Junaid was like a lightbulb moment for me. In just 30 minutes, he helped me see my goals so clearly. His simple questions helped me think about things in a way I hadn't before. I was blown away by how much value he shared with me, just like that, no strings attached. I left that call feeling energized, focused, and ready to focus on my goals.

I had the absolute pleasure of working alongside Junaid, and let me tell you, he was the ultimate wingman. His technical know coupled with the ability to translate that into real-world solutions made all the difference. Time and time again, Junaid helped us close deals that might have slipped through the cracks without his expertise and calm, friendly approach. Not only is he great at what he does, but he’s also a genuine, easy-going guy who clients instantly trust. I’d recommend Junaid in a heartbeat; he’s the kind of person you want by your side when you’re looking to make things happen.
