Founder & CEONasra Public School
Entrepreneur, educationist and philanthropist, Amir Fancy draws upon his experience of the past 25 years in working for and establishing successful business ventures in the United States of America, the Middle East and Pakistan.
His vision is simple - to continue and further build the dual legacy established by his grandparents. His late paternal grandfather, Amirali Fancy, patriarch of the Fancy family (a well respected and successful business family who had migrated from East Africa in order to set up industry, business and philanthropy in the newly born nation of Pakistan) as well as from his maternal grandmother, Nasra Wazir Ali (recipient of the Sitara-e-Imtiaz - third highest civilian meritorious award in recognition for her lifelong service to education in Pakistan.)
An entrepreneurial spirit inherited from both sides of his lineage give him a unique advantage and a deep personal insight towards building organizations and institutions with a core focus to lead for the future. With a strong foothold in building the not-for-profit Education Trust Nasra Schools (ETNS), Amir moved on to found and manage a private venture along the same low cost model, the Nasra Public School (NPS), which was established in 2004 under the Patronage of Nasra Wazir Ali. As the CEO of NPS, he has lead the growth, development and execution of the company’s long term strategy and continues to be responsible for delivering on both NPS’s academic and financial goals in strategic partnership with the Acumen Fund.
Amir is passionate about creating a social impact with a quest to grow, earn, learn and then give back. His various personal commitments to actively serving on several boards is a testimony to his personal mandate.
