Mian Jehangir Shahid is the Chairman and founder of Leopards Courier Services
Pvt. Ltd. Pakistan’s leading service provider in the logistics, Courier &
Warehousing industry, which connects people nationwide and offers services in
the most remote areas of the country. Born on July 15th, 1947, Mian Jehangir
Shahid grew up in Lahore with his five siblings. Their father, Saadat Din, was a
cotton dealer and his mother was a homemaker. He attended school away from his
family in the city of Abbottabad, at the Abbottabad Public School. He was always
an inquisitive and innovative student who liked to experiment with new ideas; an
aptitude which would later lead him to find his potential in the courier
industry. After completing his Master’s Degree in Economics, Mian Jehangir
Shahid has moved to Karachi in 1970 and joined a newly growing advertising
industry in Pakistan. His company made billboards that targeted the cities’
major commercial districts. New ideas for promoting products were being
developed as the concept of advertising was becoming popular. However, as a
recession hit the country in the 1970s, businesses in Pakistan were greatly
de-valued and could no longer afford to spend money on expensive advertisement
campaigns. Then entering the manufacturing industry following his advertising
streak, he was surprised by the involuntary lack of correspondence between
businesses due to the lack of a secure and systemized courier or postal service.
Seeing a potential for a courier company that could connect the whole nation,
Mian Jehangir Shahid established Leopards Courier Services Pvt. Ltd. in 1983
with five destinations in the country. His foresight and vision lead towards the
expansion of the company, and after establishing one of the largest nationwide
networks, Leopards went international in the year 2000, setting up offices in
Dubai, Singapore and China. Moreover, Mian Jehangir Shahid in recent past opened
Leopards logistics and shipments; a division of leopards focused on the national
and international transportation of heavy shipments and containers. Keeping in
view the philosophy of transformation and evolution within the industry in
recent times, Mian Jehangir Shahid focuses on constant transformation &
digitalization of current operations processes at leopards. Enabling
technologies such as Sensors, IOT, Data Analytics, Auto Sortation & Sort to
light technology and robotics are being deployed into specialized applications.
These technological advancements, the introduction of new systems, processes,
tech teams, will take them to be a leading digitalized Logistics & Courier
Group. Mian Jehangir Shahid always quotes his son as part of his company’s
success, Rizwan Saadat who has been in the business with him since his
childhood. And now Mashallah he has become a valuable asset for the company.
