Hina Ahsan

As a young girl, Hina Ahsan grew up in Pakistan imagining herself working in a professional business setting, but never in her wildest dreams did she think she would be the co-founder of a multi-million dollar business in an industry dominated by men. After immigrating to Australia when she was 26, Hina earned a Master’s degree in Economics from the University of Agriculture, Peshawar. After graduation, she became the Program Officer at Preston University in Pakistan and was also a lecturer at Khyber College of Commerce and Management where she taught Economics to undergraduate students. She then went on to work at the MAA Australia where she managed humanitarian relief, emergency, and developmental projects that have distributed over A$1.5 million. Hina would soon pivot to entrepreneurial endeavours with the hope to change the landscape of exploration through robotics and machine learning. “Abyss Solutions has become the trusted leader in autonomous inspections at scale, and our team isn’t stopping there. Every day we push the boundaries of what’s possible when it comes to offering solutions that reduce the strain on our ecosystems and keep humans out of dangerous situations,” noted Hina. It’s not all about business for Hina. Through her work with MMA, her eyes were opened to the great need for basic necessities in developing countries. She used her past humanitarian efforts to pave the way for Abyss to provide continuous support to underprivileged areas around the world. She has also found a passion to help women overcome gender bias and take roles in male-dominated industries.
