In this episode, I was lucky enough to interview Umair Khan, CEO and founder of Techamana.

Umair explains that Techamana is a vetted talent marketplace designed to stand apart from traditional freelance platforms. Techamana ensures quality by rigorously evaluating technical skills, communication, and cultural fit before admitting freelancers to the platform. He explains that the company matches clients with top candidates within 48 hours, delivering a faster and more reliable hiring experience. Umair also addresses challenges such as detecting fraud, upholding quality control, and building trust when connecting global talent with businesses.
Umair also shares his personal journey from growing up in Karachi, Pakistan, to becoming a U.S. citizen and entrepreneur. Inspired by his own experience breaking into the global freelance economy, he recognized the opportunity to empower skilled workers in developing countries to access fairer wages and meaningful work. With Techamana, he aims to bridge wage disparities, leverage AI in building scalable solutions, and create opportunities for vetted professionals worldwide.

Step into Umair Khan’s journey, where the internet shaped his path and determination fueled the rise of a thriving platform, in this episode of The First Customer!
