01 / The story

Built through
experience,
not theory.

INDIA → CANADA

I’m Aamir Khan, a Vancouver-based engineer, entrepreneur and digital commerce professional. From building a full-scale hybrid vehicle and developing an international motorcycle-parts business to co-founding a Vancouver food venture and working in digital merchandising, my journey has always centred on transforming ideas into products, systems and businesses that serve real customers.

Across engineering, entrepreneurship, food service, international e-commerce and digital merchandising, one principle has remained consistent: I enjoy taking ideas beyond the concept stage and turning them into products, systems and businesses that serve real customers.

Read the full story

My journey began with engineering and product innovation. I completed a Bachelor of Technology in Mechanical Engineering in 2017. During my undergraduate studies, I designed and developed several unconventional engineering projects, including a miniature army robot, a driveable suitcase car constructed from a household briefcase, and a full-scale hybrid vehicle.

In 2015, my hybrid vehicle competed in a national-level competition in India. The project later earned me an invitation to present the vehicle in Noida in 2016, giving my work exposure beyond the university environment.

In 2017, I founded Vintage Bike Customs, a business specializing in body parts for vintage and classic motorcycles. The company connects product knowledge rooted in India with international e-commerce, serving enthusiasts and restorers across global markets.

I moved to Canada in 2023 to pursue higher education and completed my Master of Business Administration at University Canada West in 2024. The MBA strengthened my understanding of strategy, leadership, marketing, finance and international business while allowing me to connect practical entrepreneurial experience with formal business education.

After moving to Vancouver, I co-founded The Mughals Vancouver, a food-service venture built through delivery marketplaces, digital marketing, customer reviews, menu development and hands-on operating experience.

Today, I work as a Digital Merchandising Specialist at Purdys Chocolatier. My professional work sits at the intersection of e-commerce, merchandising, digital customer experience and commercial execution.

How I approach the work

Build with substance.

Leadership is not only about expansion. It is also about knowing when to invest, when to adapt, when to pause and how to remain accountable to the people affected by each decision. I believe strong businesses are built by staying close to customers, understanding the numbers and doing the operational work others often overlook.
