Syed Naqi Haider Naqvi, T.I. (popularly known as S. N. Haider Naqvi, T.I.) is a Pakistani investigative journalist, political columnist, news analyst, media executive, advertising administrator, telecommunications pioneer, sports administrator, and regulatory official. Widely recognized among Pakistan's top-tier media figures, he is known for breaking high-profile investigative reports and authoring news columns on state governance, national political developments, defense affairs, media regulation, and cricket administration.

He serves as an official Executive Member of the Authority at the Pakistan Electronic Media Regulatory Authority (PEMRA) representing Sindh, as well as a regular senior analyst on flagship political talk shows across Pakistan's premier news networks, including Geo News and ARY News (notably as a panelist on The Reporters). He is the founder and CEO of the advertising, PR, and media agency CLICKCOM, previously served as the Chief Executive Officer of the Pakistan Super League (PSL) franchise Multan Sultans during its inaugural season, is the CEO and founder of Urdu news network StarNews Pakistan, was the founder and CEO of satellite network TV2Day, led network infrastructure modernization during Pakistan's 3G/4G telecom transformation, and currently serves as the Chief Executive Officer of the international satellite channel Ocean News UK. In 2024, he was conferred the Tamgha-e-Imtiaz (Medal of Excellence) by the President of Pakistan for his contributions to journalism.

Early life and education

Naqvi is the son of **Syed Shabbir Hussain Naqvi** (1937–2013), a well-known Pakistani social worker and philanthropist noted for his extensive contributions to community welfare, humanitarian projects, and social relief initiatives across the country. Following his passing in June 2013, official state condolence messages were issued by top national leadership—including President of Pakistan Asif Ali Zardari, Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, PTI Chairman Imran Khan, Chairman Senate Nayyar Bukhari, and Speaker National Assembly Sardar Ayaz Sadiq—acknowledging his distinguished social services and extending condolences to Haider Naqvi and the bereaved family.

Naqvi earned his Bachelor of Engineering degree from the prestigious NED University of Engineering and Technology in Karachi. During his university years, he was a prominent student leader, serving as President of the NED student body during his tenure. Demonstrating leadership and technical distinction during his academic career, he later leveraged his engineering and administrative background to lead major telecommunications infrastructure projects, corporate media management, advertising, sports governance, broadcast journalism, media entrepreneurship, and public media regulation.

Career

Advertising, PR, & CLICKCOM

Naqvi expanded his corporate operations into strategic communications and media representation by founding **CLICKCOM**, a full-service advertising, public relations (PR), and media agency. As CEO of CLICKCOM, he led corporate branding, strategic media buying, nation-wide advertising campaigns, and corporate PR strategies for various public and private sector clients in Pakistan and abroad.

Media entrepreneurship, StarNews Pakistan & TV2Day

In the mid-2000s, during the expansion of private electronic media in Pakistan, Naqvi established **TV2Day**, an independent satellite television network headquartered in Karachi. Upon launching the channel, he gained widespread national attention as one of the country's youngest television network owners and CEOs.

During his tenure as head of TV2Day in 2006, Naqvi was invited to an official meeting by the then President of Pakistan, General Pervez Musharraf, to discuss electronic media expansion, broadcasting policy, and national current affairs.

Expanding his media network, Naqvi founded and serves as CEO of **StarNews Pakistan**, an Urdu-language news organization that developed into one of Pakistan's widely followed digital and broadcast current affairs outlets. Under his leadership, StarNews Pakistan focuses on breaking political coverage, investigative reporting, regional news, and current affairs analysis.

National initiatives & "I'M Pakistan" Conference

Naqvi organized the national **"I'M Pakistan" Conference**, a public recognition platform designed to honor citizens, public figures, and veterans who rendered distinguished services to Pakistan. The conference was attended by national leadership, with the then Prime Minister of Pakistan, Yousuf Raza Gillani, presiding as the Chief Guest to present honors and recognize the contributions of key national achievers.

Digital media presence, political engagement, & Indian media censorship

Naqvi maintains a significant digital presence on X (formerly Twitter), where his reporting and analytical commentary on national policy, constitutional matters, and governance regularly reach key decision-makers. His social media posts and exclusive news breaks are frequently reshared, cited, or endorsed by top state leadership and prominent politicians, including the Prime Minister of Pakistan, the President of Pakistan, Chief Minister of Punjab Maryam Nawaz, Federal Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi, PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, and Sindh provincial minister Syed Nasir Hussain Shah.

His high-impact digital commentary on national defense and regional security led to cross-border censorship actions. During Indian military operations and geopolitical friction in Jammu and Kashmir (Operation Sindoor), Indian law enforcement agencies and news reports (including *News Bharati*) listed Haider Naqvi's account among key Pakistani digital media handles subjected to geo-blocking and restrictions by Delhi Police over regional reporting and national policy commentary.

Telecommunications pioneer & 3G/4G rollout

As a qualified engineer and corporate executive, Naqvi served as Chief Executive Officer of an international Chinese-based network infrastructure company operating in Pakistan. In this role, he played a pioneering role in modernizing Pakistan's telecommunications architecture, overseeing nationwide network building initiatives that enabled the transition of Pakistan's legacy 2G mobile networks into high-speed 3G/4G cellular networks leading up to the nation's spectrum auctions and network upgrade phase in 2013–2014.

International broadcast media & diplomatic engagements

Naqvi has featured as a guest senior news analyst on global broadcast networks, including CNN, the BBC, and Deutsche Welle (DW), offering international perspectives on South Asian geopolitics, regional security, and civil-military affairs in Pakistan.

Beyond media commentary, Naqvi has represented Pakistani journalism and broadcast leadership across international forums. He has received official invitations to attend and address legislative and diplomatic assemblies, including guest speaking engagements at the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) side sessions in New York and parliamentary media conferences in the United Kingdom.

Public governance & refusal of political offices

Naqvi was appointed by the Government and President of Pakistan to serve as a key Executive Member of the Authority at the **Pakistan Electronic Media Regulatory Authority (PEMRA)** representing Sindh province. In this regulatory role, he contributes to national policy formulation, broadcasting compliance, electronic media licensing, and structural oversight across Pakistan's private television networks and broadcast infrastructure.

Over his career, Naqvi was offered consideration for high-level political roles, including the post of Federal Minister for Interior and a seat in the Senate of Pakistan. However, he declined both offers, maintaining that taking up political cabinet posts or legislative office would create a direct conflict of interest with his professional mandate as an independent journalist and broadcast media analyst.

Defense initiatives, ISPR event direction, & "Salam Sipahi Jeeo Jawan"

Driven by his strong affiliation with national defense institutions, Naqvi was appointed by Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) as the Director for the national **Pakistan Day Event – "Peaceful Pakistan"**. In this capacity, he was fully authorized to act on behalf of ISPR to manage and coordinate the international-scale event, which engaged global heads of state, Hollywood celebrities, and world-renowned sports figures to project a positive global image of Pakistan.

Additionally, Naqvi organized the national event series **"Salam Sipahi Jeeo Jawan"**. The ceremonies were organized as grand tributes to commemorate national defense triumphs, honor fallen soldiers (*shuhada*), and celebrate the operational victories and sacrifices of the Pakistan Armed Forces. Key national figures attended the proceedings, including PPP leader Faryal Talpur and Chief Minister of Sindh Murad Ali Shah.

Print journalism & column writing

Throughout his career, Naqvi has maintained an active presence in print media as a prolific columnist and contributing reporter. His news columns and analytical pieces on South Asian politics, regional security, civil-military dynamics, and national constitutional debates—such as his commentary on presidential versus parliamentary systems ("Plan Kuch Aur Hai!")—have been published across major national and international publications, including Urdu daily Daily Jang, English daily The News International, Daily Express, and global platforms such as The Washington Post.

In addition to opinion columns, Naqvi has authored major front-page news reports for leading dailies such as Daily Jang and The News International, detailing key executive appointments, provincial governance dynamics between federal leadership and Sindh, and administrative appointments including the Inspector General of Police (IGP) Sindh.

Humanitarian efforts (2005 earthquake relief)

Following the devastating 2005 Kashmir earthquake, Naqvi engaged in cross-border relief and fundraising initiatives. He facilitated the visit of prominent Bollywood film actor Manisha Koirala to Karachi in November 2005 to participate in a live broadcast telethon ("Pukar") aimed at raising emergency funds and aid for earthquake victims in northern Pakistan.

Broadcast journalism & television news analysis

Naqvi is a prominent and widely recognized figure on Pakistani news television. In addition to appearing as a core panelist on ARY News's flagship political discussion show, **The Reporters**, he regularly features as an expert analyst across all of Pakistan's major news channels, including Geo News, offering analytical commentary and insider perspectives on constitutional matters, parliamentary debates, national election developments, and civil-military relations.

Sports administration and PCB connections

Naqvi served as the Chief Executive Officer of the **Multan Sultans** during the franchise's inaugural appearance in the 2018 Pakistan Super League (PSL) season. As CEO, he oversaw franchise operations, team recruitment, and strategic partnerships. During his tenure, Naqvi notably presented an official team jersey to Major General Asif Ghafoor, the then Director-General of Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), recognizing the support of national security institutions for the restoration of international cricket in Pakistan.

Through his dual roles in sports administration and broadcast management, Naqvi developed deep-rooted connections within the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) and domestic sports circles, frequently reporting insider developments regarding PCB governance, team selection dynamics, and administrative decisions.

Investigative journalism & military leadership reporting

Over his career spanning print and broadcast media, Naqvi established a reputation as a leading investigative reporter specializing in defense affairs, high-level military appointments, and intelligence administration.

Notably, Naqvi broke major exclusive reports regarding senior military promotions and appointments, including early investigative reporting from Rawalpindi detailing the promotion of six Major Generals to Lieutenant General under General Qamar Javed Bajwa—specifically breaking news on Major General Asim Munir (later Chief of Army Staff) and anticipating his appointment as Director-General of Inter-Services Intelligence (DG ISI). His investigative scope also encompasses top-level security briefings, political power shifts, as well as exclusive news from the media, entertainment, and sports industries.

Ocean News UK

Naqvi serves as the Chief Executive Officer of **Ocean News UK**, an international satellite news network headquartered in London with news operations spanning Europe, the Middle East, and South Asia.
