Shahzada Dawood, a talented and visionary British Pakistani businessman, tragically lost his life during a submersible expedition to explore the Titanic. Alongside him was his son, Suleman, who is also believed to have perished in the incident. The United States Coast Guard, represented by Rear Admiral John W. Mauger, expressed their deepest condolences to the families affected.
Mr. Dawood held the prestigious position of vice chairman at Engro Corporation, a renowned business conglomerate based in Karachi, Pakistan. Engro Corporation is actively involved in various industries such as agriculture, energy, and telecommunications. This family is highly respected and considered one of the wealthiest in the country. Mr. Dawood’s focus within the company was on renewable energy and technology, showcasing his dedication to innovation.
His educational background included studying law at Buckingham University in the UK during his undergraduate years. He furthered his education by obtaining a master’s degree in global textile marketing from Philadelphia University (now part of Thomas Jefferson University). In recognition of his talents and potential, he was chosen as a Young Global Leader by the World Economic Forum in 2012.
Suleman, his son, was a business student at the University of Strathclyde in Glasgow. He had recently completed his first year of studies. Engro stated that, like his father, Suleman had an affinity for science fiction literature and enjoyed activities such as solving Rubik’s Cubes and playing volleyball. The Dawood family shared a remarkable bond, and their relationship was characterized by unwavering support and a shared passion for adventure and exploration.
Driven by their love for science and discovery, Shahzada and Suleman embarked on the expedition to explore the Titanic. Their friends and family revealed that both individuals had a long-standing passion for pursuing knowledge and uncovering new frontiers. A close friend and former colleague, Ahsen Uddin Syed, described Shahzada Dawood as an explorer, with travel and science being deeply ingrained in his DNA.
Beyond their adventurous spirits, Shahzada Dawood also had an appreciation for nature and frequently traveled to remote destinations. His Instagram profile acted as a visual diary, documenting his love for travel and the natural world. The photos shared by Mr. Dawood ranged from magnificent landscapes, vibrant flowers, and diverse bird species. His immense love and curiosity for the world were truly inspiring.
Mr. Dawood’s commitment to the environment extended beyond personal pursuits. Khalid Mansoor, another former colleague, highlighted his passionate advocacy for environmental causes. Additionally, he served as a trustee for the SETI Institute, an esteemed organization dedicated to the search for extraterrestrial intelligence.
Within Engro, Mr. Dawood championed a culture of learning, sustainability, and diversity, leaving a lasting impact on the company’s values. He also actively participated in his family’s philanthropic endeavors, including the Engro Foundation, which supports small-scale farmers, and the Dawood Foundation, a non-profit organization focusing on education.
The void left by the tragic loss of Shahzada and Suleman will be deeply felt by all those who had the privilege of knowing them, as expressed in a statement by their family. Shahzada Dawood is survived by his wife, Christine, and their daughter, Alina.
