Alif Zero is an independent digital publication covering global business, technology, trade, mining, commodities, and commerce. We publish daily.
Our editorial focus sits at the intersection of four fields: enterprise software and AI, global commodity trade, mining and mineral intelligence, and retail and direct-to-consumer commerce. We write about what's actually happening — not what press releases suggest is happening.
Founders. Operators. Traders. Geologists. Sales directors. Supply chain managers. People who have to make decisions every day with incomplete information, who need context more than they need abstractions, and who prefer honest analysis to polished marketing.
Every story is grounded in specifics. Real numbers when we have them, acknowledgment when we don't. Real companies, real people, real geographies. We avoid the corporate language that has colonised business writing in the 2020s. We are for readers who trust their own judgement.
Alif Zero is editorially independent. We do not accept paid coverage disguised as editorial. When we discuss products, tools, or companies — including businesses owned or operated by our founders — we disclose the relationship clearly. Sponsored content, when it appears, is labelled as such.
Alif Zero is founded and edited by Sufyan, who also operates companies in SaaS (Zivni), satellite intelligence (GeoMine AI), commodity trade (Acme Global Trading), and retail (IVG Pakistan). Articles covering topics related to these businesses disclose the connection and link transparently where appropriate.
