Khalid Awan was born in Dera-Ismail-Khan and is a Mechanical Engineer by education, a profession in which he started his career.

He entered business in 1982 when his older brother established a Joint Venture in Pakistan with the global air-express giant DHL, under the name DHL Pakistan Private Ltd.

The brothers then founded TCS Private Ltd. as the domestic arm complementing the international business. The first decade saw phenomenal growth in the jointly owned and managed business.

The future potential in each business – domestic and international, necessitated long term structuring. The brothers astutely addressed this in 1991 by ‘de-linking’ the organization and ownership of the two companies, enabling each to pursue its own trajectory.

It was thus in 1991 that Khalid Awan, who had served as Managing Director, since inception, of both TCS and DHL Pakistan under the Chairmanship of Sadiq Awan, took over as the Chairman and M.D. of TCS Private Limited.

The challenges and implications of this decision are the subject of a Harvard Business School Case Study undertaken in 2002.

Between then and 2007 when Sadiq Awan disinvested his share-holding in DHL Pakistan, TCS and DHL maintained a collaborative non-competitive relationship.

Khalid Awan not only piloted the evolution of TCS in Pakistan but also went on to establish TCS in UK (1989), UAE (1996), and Canada (1999).

On the 30th anniversary of its founding in 2013, Khalid Awan outlined for TCS its course for the next thirty years by installing a futuristic young leadership, guided by a mission statement and core-values in a world class corporate environment overseen by a competent Board.

Mr. Awan is an active philanthropist who generously contributes to organizations in the field of health, education, and social welfare.

He is a lifetime member of 'World Presidents Organization' - WPO, and has served as Chairman of Khalid Nawaz Awan Foundation and Chairman TCS Holdings Private Limited YPO Pakistan Chapter. He has chaired the 'Corporate Award Committee of the Management Association of Pakistan (MAP) and serves on the Pakistan National Committee of the International Chambers of Commerce (ICC), and the Board of Governors - Karachi Council of Foreign Relations and Community Advisory Board of the Aga Khan University Hospital, Karachi.

He served on the Paris based Transportation Committee of the ICC from 1997-2007, and represented it at the United Nations 2003 General Assembly Session on Millennium Development Goals.

He has also advised the Government of Pakistan on development of Pakistan Postal Services.

Mr. Awan is a member of the Chartered Institute of Transport, and Fellow of the Royal Aeronautical Society.
