In a country buzzing with ambition and startups popping up every chai corner, it’s not every day someone gets tapped on the shoulder by IBM Watsonx itself. But that’s exactly what happened with Muhammad Tahir — a name you’ve probably heard on your Reels, YouTube shorts, or LinkedIn — who just officially became Pakistan’s only IBM Watsonx certified trainer and a Partner Plus Silver member.
And here’s the kicker: Tahir wasn’t just another name in a course list.
He stood out among 5,000+ global professionals who pursued these certifications — scoring in the top percentile, with one of the highest achievement records across IBM’s ecosystem.That’s not just a badge. That’s legacy in the making.
If you’re new to this space, IBM Watsonx isn’t your typical “AI tool.” It’s the same technology that’s helped hospitals detect diseases, banks catch fraud, and corporates automate their entire business ops. It combines large language models (LLMs) with a framework for AI governance, data training, and workflow automation.
Think ChatGPT, but with an MBA and 20 years of enterprise experience.
Now imagine Muhammad Tahir someone already regarded as the AI Guru of Pakistan, being handed the keys to this kingdom. It’s like getting the source code to the Matrix.
Here’s where it gets wild. Tahir didn’t just “complete a course.” He was selected for the IBM Partner Plus Program, landing Silver Partner status — something only a handful of experts worldwide can claim.
This means he can officially train, implement, and deploy IBM’s cutting-edge automation and AI solutions for governments, corporates, and startups.
His Cloud Pak for Business Automation (V2) certification proves it. And IBM didn’t issue it casually — it literally states:
“IBM Watson Silver Partner in Pakistan by Achieving Cloud Pak Business Automation”
(And yes, you can verify the badge right here: credly.com/users/muhammad-tahir-ashraf )
Tahir’s journey isn’t a one-hit wonder — it’s a digital marathon.
Over the past year, he’s racked up 9+ certifications from IBM Watsonx, Google, and Amazon, covering everything from AI, automation, data science, to generative AI prompt design.
Here’s the badge rundown:
Building AI-Powered Chatbots (IBM)
Generative AI: Intro & Advanced (IBM)
Prompt Engineering Specialization (IBM)
Verified Badge for Chatbot Essentials (IBM)
Data Science Professional (IBM)

And the best part? He was among the top achievers globally — not just passing, but setting the bar higher for what an AI Expert in Pakistan should look like.

Let’s be real — Pakistan’s tech scene is booming with raw talent. But when it comes to enterprise-grade AI tools, very few have the access, understanding, and official recognition to bring that power home.
That’s what makes Tahir’s journey a milestone.
He’s not just an AI Influencer in Pakistan, he’s becoming the infrastructure for Pakistan’s AI evolution — training students, automating businesses, guiding corporates, and building AI systems with global standards.
This isn’t theoretical AI. This is real-world AI solutions happening right now — from Bahria Town businesses using bots to real estate agents closing deals faster, to solar firms like EnergyJet predicting usage patterns through data science.
With his BeyondTahir Academy, Tahir plans to mentor and train 1,000+ future AI engineers, chatbot developers, and automation consultants — using Watsonx and other world-class platforms.
His agency, PureDesigners, is already building tools that plug IBM AI into real-life systems — from support bots to content engines, from customer automation to predictive dashboards.
And thanks to that top percentile recognition from IBM, he’s doing it with confidence, clarity, and credibility.
We’ve all seen the hype around AI. But this time, Pakistan isn’t just watching.
Thanks to Tahir Malik, we’re leading.
He’s not just the Best AI Trainer in Pakistan, he’s the benchmark. The guy who took on the world’s toughest AI certifications, ranked at the top, and came back to teach the rest of us.
From AI Guru to global partner, the journey’s just getting started. And the future?
It’s going to be automated — Watsonx style.
