From Jeddah to Durban — Real Estate, Angel Investing & Endurance with Shabbir Barbhaya

For Shabbir Barbhaya, Ignite 2025 is both a first EO regional experience and a chance to connect across borders. A veteran real estate developer from Jeddah, he reflects on building trust in forums, finding renewal through endurance sports, and embracing EO’s theme of The Power Within.

Shabbir also shares his growing role as an angel investor, backing ventures in fintech, SaaS, and gaming, with scalability and founder character as his guiding filters. He explains how mentoring fuels his purpose, and why he’s considering a lightweight podcast as a natural extension of his coaching. This conversation blends entrepreneurship, endurance, and impact in a candid, relatable way.
