Founder & ChairmanARQ Group
“Leadership means serving, not ruling.”
Mr. Aamer Rafique Qureshi is the Founder and Chairman of ARQ Group of Companies, a diversified Pakistani business group spanning hospitality, real estate development, legal support services, marketing and tourism. He provides strategic direction, governance oversight and leadership across every group company.
He serves as Chairman of the Pakistan Restaurants Unity Association - Regd., the registered body representing Pakistan’s restaurant and hospitality industry, and is Managing Partner of Poet Boutique Restaurants — among Lahore’s most recognised premium dining names. Alongside this he holds convener mandates at the Federation of Pakistan Chambers of Commerce & Industry and the Lahore Chamber of Commerce & Industry.
His philosophy is built on trust-based relationships, disciplined execution and institution-building that outlasts any single venture — a conviction that has made industry advocacy as much a part of his work as the businesses he owns.
