About

I'm Ali Taab Baloch. This blog is where I write about what I've learned from more than nine years in banking and, since 2020, building an Amazon FBA wholesale business from scratch. Posts read like diary entries because that's what they are: a real moment, followed by what it taught me. No listicles, no growth hacks.

Background

I spent more than nine years in banking operations, from August 2011 to December 2020, starting as a General Banking Officer at Bank Al Habib (2011–2014), then Customer Service Officer at Soneri Bank and Customer Service Executive at BankIslami, before becoming Operations Manager at Meezan Bank (2018–2020), where I managed branch operations, cash flow, compliance, and a team of 15 staff.

Since December 2020, I've worked full-time in ecommerce as an Amazon Account Manager: directing teams, sourcing and listing products, pricing, marketing, and fulfillment, and building the brand relationships that wholesale depends on. I've taken Amazon Seller Central accounts from zero to $1 million+ in sales.

Education

• LLB, University of Sindh, Jamshoro (2019–2022)
• B.Com, Banking & Finance, University of Sindh, Jamshoro (2011–2013)
• Intermediate, Computer Sciences, Saifee College, Hyderabad (2003–2005)
• Matriculation, General Science, Govt. High School Jhole, Sanghar (2000–2002)

Sometimes I embed a video when someone else has already said the thing better than I could. Otherwise, it's just words.

Side project

I also build and maintain SellerSpec, a free reference for anyone selling printed or digital products: standard paper sizes, book cover and spine dimensions, and marketplace fee schedules, all verified against the official sources.
