Duraid Qureshi, the long-time CEO and co-founder of HUM Network, has officially announced that he is stepping down from his role. This marks the end of an era for the media giant that he helped build into one of the most influential television networks in Pakistan. However, Qureshi’s departure is not the end of his involvement in the company. He will remain a part of the network’s board of directors, continuing to play a role in shaping its future.
The news of Qureshi’s resignation was first reported by Galaxy Lollywood, a trusted source for entertainment news in Pakistan. According to entertainment journalist Sadiq Saleem, known for his work in publications like Khaleej Times and Film Companion, Qureshi’s daughter is set to join the company and carry forward the legacy of her father and grandmother, Sultana Siddiqui, who co-founded HUM Network in 2005. This marks an exciting new chapter for the family-run business.
Duraid Qureshi, alongside his mother, Sultana Siddiqui, transformed HUM Network into a leading name in Pakistan’s entertainment industry. Under his leadership, HUM TV became known for producing some of the country’s most beloved dramas, such as Humsafar, Zindagi Gulzar Hai, Mann Mayal, and Mere Humsafar. These dramas not only topped local television ratings but also gained recognition on the global stage, helping to spread Pakistani television’s influence to international audiences.
Qureshi’s vision for HUM Network extended beyond just producing high-quality television content. He played a significant role in expanding the network’s reach by embracing digital platforms, catering to international markets, and organizing live events. One of the standout achievements was the annual HUM Awards, which have become an important event in the entertainment calendar. These initiatives helped HUM Network to solidify its position as a global ambassador for Pakistani culture, reaching audiences in regions like South Asia, the Middle East, Europe, and North America.
As the network celebrates its 20th anniversary, the leadership transition marks an exciting phase in its journey. With Duraid Qureshi stepping down and his daughter preparing to take the reins, HUM Network’s legacy is in safe hands. This leadership change not only signifies a new beginning for the family business but also offers the promise of fresh ideas and innovation that will continue to elevate Pakistan’s entertainment industry.
As the world of entertainment continues to evolve, HUM Network is ready for the next chapter, and its audience can expect even more groundbreaking content, both locally and internationally. The Qureshi family’s commitment to bringing Pakistani culture to the global stage remains strong, ensuring that the network’s influence will only grow in the years to come.
