At the recent 67th foundation day celebration of the Department of Geology at Aligarh Muslim University (AMU), we had the honor of hosting Saiyyed Owais Ali as the chief guest. As the Managing Director of Owais Metal and Mineral Processing Limited and Director of M/s Saiyyed Akhtar Ali Group, Mr. Ali embodies the spirit of innovation and leadership in the geoscience industry.

Mr. Ali has forged a remarkable path in the sector, drawing inspiration from the legacy of his father while emphasizing the importance of hard work and ambition. During his address at the foundation day event, he motivated students and faculty alike to pursue their dreams and make meaningful contributions to society. His vision for empowering women and fostering self-reliance in India aligns with the broader goals of national development, encapsulated in the idea of “Atmanirbhar Bharat.”

One of the highlights of Mr. Ali’s professional journey is the recent approval of his company, Owais Metal and Mineral Processing Limited, for an initial public offering (IPO) by the National Stock Exchange of India. This significant achievement not only marks a milestone for his company but also showcases the exciting potential of the geosciences industry in India.

His active involvement in academia and industry collaboration underscores the importance of bridging the gap between education and practical applications.
