Iran may be the most controversial country in the world right now.
You may have heard stories about Iran that have been really shocking or disturbing or even interesting to you.
Iran might be an old slum to you, or a third world middle eastern country losing all its greatness as history writes itself.
But I, as an Iranian have met some of the most influential and powerful Iranian businessmen and businesswomen in the whole world! And I’m not exaggerating here.
I am Mahan Teymouri. A proud Iranian that thinks Iranian people are some of the wisest people globally.
The amount of innovation I’ve met during my 10 years of consulting experience is more than you can imagine.
I’m not here to nag about economical conflicts in Iran or sanctions or politics or anything.
I am here to tell the world the amount of potential that sleeps under all the news and politics; Iranian People.
I started my business consulting career about 10 years ago and I never thought I’d see what I have seen. I’ve met ideas with the ability to change the world in a matter of years.
Kids with 10+ years of age with IQs you won’t find in any organization anywhere. Don’t ask me why aren’t these individuals known or doing anything newsworthy for you to find out about as we would enter a restricted subject of discussion.
Look Closer
You may have heard that some of the biggest corporations in the world like Google, Apple etc have hired lots of Iranians. The reason for that is the level of innovation and potential most Iranian people bring and I’m not kidding about that. Maryam Mirzakhani was one of the biggest mathematicians in the world that unfortunately is no longer with us (may her soul rest in peace forever.)
I have a purpose, a big one. I want to show the world what we Iranians are capable of in the field of business and science and engineering and many other world-changing subjects.
What Iranian people mostly lack is the playground. You know what I mean. As I said before I’m not here to nag about anything.
The level of economic conflict in Iran has risen enormously in the past couple of years.
As the US sanctions started growing in numbers and sizes, Iranian people were the first to feel the effects. Prices skyrocketed, Businesses collapsed and all that came out was a powerful workforce being shattered to pieces in a matter of months. There you have your answer. Why isn’t Iran one of the most powerful countries in the field of economy and business? Because of all the political drama that really none of us Iranian people chose to be part of.
Rise of the first world-class businesses in Iran
Between 2013 to 2018, Iran was in a more or less stable state of a situation. The Economy was much more desirable than it is now. No real big sanctions were being held against Iran at the time and chances of a start-up becoming a big company was drastically higher than nowadays.
And as you expect, some of the biggest companies started shaping in the mentioned years. Snapp, Tap30, Sheypoor, Divar, Alibaba, Digikala and many other startups were the ones that are a real source of entrepreneurship at the moment. Some of the businesses became national, some were even bought by enormous multinational investors and some were expanded and even entered the government’s system.
What is my real purpose?
I’m here to show the world for the first time, what could be done and is being neglected. The amount of potential that is being ignored is mind boggling. I have been doing all I can and using all my cards to do this in my country for the last 10 years. But now is the time to expand the audience. It’s time for the world to be introduced to this asleep monster. I assure you the amount of potential that is suppressed by all the politics and conflicts in Iran could be considered science fiction if it was portrayed in a movie!
My plan is to tell you the story of iconic Iranian people in history that had life changing effects on their country, their continent and supposedly the whole world one by one in my blog.
Don’t Underestimate The Future
I have a dream, more like a plan actually. And my plan isn’t going to be short term.
I foresee a future in which Iranian people have changed the way every country looks at its workforce. A future where the whole population of the earth is applauding the innovation of my country on their feet. A future that no political drama stops the human race from improving and building for the better. Just think about it, if you could make the amount of innovation of Elon Musk meet the Iranian people’s potential. This has never happened before. No one has ever even considered it. But I have a dream and in that dream, I see all of these utopian ideal events occurring every day. I mean Why the hell not?! Don’t we all want better lives? or get excited about people going to mars? Don’t we all get excited about the new ideas that give birth to new ways of life and wellbeing?
A world of new ideas is being silenced and stopped every single day in Iran and I mean that. Think about all the new aspects and inventions and creations that could happen if we started shedding some light on countries with less power and accessibility like Iran.
My Name is Mahan Teymouri. I am a proud Iranian with a big new dream and don’t plan on abandoning any home country or people and changing any nationality. I will fight for my dream, I am going to live until the very day I see my dream come to life. I HAVE A DREAM.
