Asadullah Khan

Founder and Chief Executive Officer Trango Tech

Last Reviewed: September 18, 2026

Executive Summary

Asadullah Khan is a Karachi-based entrepreneur who has spent more than two decades building technology and outsourcing businesses that sell into North America from Pakistan. His central vehicle is ePlanet Communications, co-founded in 2003, and the group of companies that has grown around it. Trango Tech, the firm he leads as chief executive, is the group’s client-facing digital services arm: headquartered in Austin, Texas, it builds mobile and web applications, e-commerce storefronts, Microsoft Dynamics implementations and staff-augmentation teams for clients across a wide range of industries. Khan describes the founding motivation as closing a gap between what enterprise-grade software costs and what smaller businesses can actually reach — a positioning that is common in the offshore development market, and one that Trango Tech pursues through a distributed delivery model spanning Pakistan, the Middle East, the UK and the United States.

• Served on the board of directors of Eximpo Cool Chains from 1999 to 2003, his earliest recorded business role.
• Trango Tech states it has delivered more than 500 applications for over 1,000 clients, with a reported 95 percent client retention rate.
• Trango Tech maintains reviewed listings on agency directories including Clutch, DesignRush and Outsource Accelerator.

Professional Journey

Khan’s recorded business career begins in 1999, when he joined the board of directors of Eximpo Cool Chains, a cold-chain logistics business, a position he held until the end of 2003. That overlap matters: in August 2003, while still on that board, he co-founded ePlanet Communications Inc. with Trent DeGroot. ePlanet grew into a technology and business process outsourcing group with delivery operations in Karachi and a corporate presence in the United States, and it remains the platform beneath most of what he has built since.

Trango Tech is the group’s software services brand. Directory records and the company’s own Austin location page date the business to 12 January 2017, though Trango Tech’s current About Us page presents the company as founded in 2003 — a rendering that folds the ePlanet founding into the Trango Tech story. The company positions itself as a full-service digital transformation firm rather than a pure offshore development shop, selling mobile and game app development, AR/VR work, Shopify and Adobe Commerce e-commerce builds, Microsoft Dynamics 365 implementations, warehouse management systems and dedicated engineering teams on a staff-augmentation basis.

Alongside these, Khan founded Co Pakistan in 2015 and Loop 8 in 2019. Taken together with ePlanet’s BPO operations, the portfolio he describes covers technology services, business process outsourcing, supply chain, fintech and e-commerce. He has run it from Karachi throughout, while the client-facing entities carry US addresses — a structure that is characteristic of the Pakistani technology services sector, where the commercial front end sits in the customer’s market and the engineering capacity stays at home.
