In July 2016, after five years of development, he launched his latest project "The URDU THESAURUS", (http://urduthesaurus.com/). Through the Urdu Thesaurus website and app, over forty thousand unique words and phrases, and over twenty thousand sets of synonyms can be searched. Currently featuring only synonyms, its future versions will have integrated Urdu-to-Urdu lexicons, bilingual dictionaries, and dictionaries of antonyms, idioms and proverbs.<ref>[http://urduthesaurus.com/ URDU THESAURUS]</ref>

His project ''Kahani Se Kitab Tak'' programme focuses on teaching Urdu language to children through stories in a graduated reading program. The programme aims to replace the current, failed method of teaching Urdu, and introduces children to the Urdu language, its classical literature, and our folklore through engaging, age-appropriate books. It is our hope that the time spent listening to and reading these stories will forever keep alive their interest in literature. This programme is already running successfully in two branches of the Lahore Grammar School, there is interest from many other schools in Karachi, Lahore and Islamabad.


In 2023 he won the inaugural Armory Square Prize for Translation for his translation of Siddique Alam's collection ''The Kettledrum'', to be published in 2024 by Open Letter Books.<ref>{{Cite web |title=The 2023 Armory Square Prize for South Asian Literature in Translation Archives |url=https://wordswithoutborders.org/read/collection/may-2023-the-2023-armory-square-prize-for-south-asian-literature-in-translation/ |access-date=2023-07-05 |website=Words Without Borders |language=en}}</ref>
He is founder of [https://www.micromaf.com/storykit-program The STORYKIT Program] which introduces children to reading by building their engagement with stories through participation in interactive storytelling and games. This leads to children becoming interested in reading stories, engaging with the plots through games, and developing the confidence to narrate the stories themselves. The STORYKIT Program has been piloted in two private school systems in Lahore. Recently, it was piloted for UNESCO in twenty government primary schools, and ten Non-Formal Basic Education centres located in district Muzaffargarh, Punjab, In addition to developing the reading habit in children, the program demonstrably helped them develop self-confidence, improve communications skills, and increase school attendance and enrollment.
