About me
“Empowering businesses to turn ideas into impactful brands.”
Meet Umran Khan Patan, CEO and Co-Founder/Head of Operations, a visionary entrepreneur dedicated to transforming businesses and education through innovation and data-driven strategies. He leads three ventures: DM Valid, Data Maelumat, and Delphin Digital Academy, each focused on delivering trusted B2B data, intelligent marketing solutions, and meaningful learning experiences.
My professional journey began in the banking industry, where I learned the importance of precision, trust, and building strong customer relationships. I started my career at HDFC Bank as a Business Development Executive and later joined Kotak Mahindra Bank as an Assistant Sales Manager. Those years taught me how integrity and clear communication can build lasting partnerships.
In 2011, I stepped into the data research world by joining IQPC Middle East as a Senior List Researcher and 2nd in charge. That’s where I discovered my true passion, data intelligence, and lead accuracy. After years of helping global businesses identify and reach the right audiences, I decided to take my expertise further, and that’s how my entrepreneurial journey began.
I founded DM Valid, a platform focused on delivering verified B2B data and helping sales teams connect with the right decision-makers. While growing DM Valid, I realized that the real need wasn’t just data validation, it was end-to-end data intelligence.
That insight led to the birth of Data Maelumat, where he serves as Co-Founder, bringing a broader vision focused on empowering businesses with clean, compliant, and conversion-ready data. Both ventures share one mission: to help companies make smarter, faster, and data-driven decisions.
My journey didn’t stop there. Education has always been close to my heart, which inspired me to co-found Delphin Digital Academy. As Head of Operations, I focus on bridging the gap between learning and opportunity, designing programs that help students turn skills into successful careers. Watching learners grow into confident professionals and future leaders is one of the most rewarding parts of my journey.
Across all my ventures, one principle guides me: solve real problems with integrity, empathy, and precision. Whether I’m building reliable databases, improving marketing outcomes, or shaping future professionals, my mission is the same: to create lasting impact and meaningful growth. From banking to research to entrepreneurship, my journey has always been about turning information into opportunity.
