About us

we’re a
human-centered business

10Pearls was founded in 2004 by brothers Imran and Zeeshan Aftab. What began as a two-person operation is now a global business with offices in the United States, Costa Rica, Colombia, United Kingdom, Pakistan, and Peru.

Since its inception, 10Pearls has been a “double bottom line” company, created to deliver superior services and make a difference in the world. Our founders understood first-hand how good jobs could change entire communities, particularly in emerging countries. The value of high-paying jobs was evident in the enriched lives of families, creating a ripple effect throughout an entire community.

Fast-forward to today, 10Pearls is helping startups and enterprises alike to compete in the digital age while investing heavily in the wellbeing and training of our offshore teams. We partner with our clients to imagine, design, build, and deliver innovative mobile and digital products.

10Pearls reminds me of the ‘double bottom line’ businesses that Washington sports mogul Ted Leonsis espouses. That refers to businesses that earn profits while accomplishing some social good.

10Pearls Labs

Technology evolves at a rapid pace, but at 10Pearls Labs, we stay ahead of the curve by identifying which emerging tech trends will fade and which will make a lasting impact on your industry. Through rigorous studies, tests, and analysis, we measure the impact of AI, AR/VR, ML, and NLP on software development, business models, and go-to-market strategies.

10Pearls University

Center for Continuous and Advanced Learning caters to all of our employees’ diverse backgrounds (science, engineering, art, business, and more). We organize workshops, training sessions, hackathons, and webinars. Our hope is that each of our employees has the opportunity to enhance their skills, take bold initiatives, and become leaders in innovation.

Empower Foundation

From our inception, 10Pearls has been committed to enriching communities and making a positive impact beyond corporate and digital growth. We are committed to doing good while doing well - hosting volunteer events, free courses, and sponsoring programs that aim to build a better world for women, children, and individuals with disabilities.
