# Funkar Ltd

Funkar Ltd is a London-based consultancy founded by Babar Javed and Iram Quraishi, two strategists with extensive experience across sustainability, innovation, marketing, arts and cultural programming. The firm helps organisations—from local enterprises to global brands—develop and execute projects with sustainability at their core.

The company works across six key disciplines: sustainability strategy, innovation development, marketing, arts programming, project management, and environment and education initiatives. Rather than offering off-the-shelf solutions, Funkar takes a bespoke approach, beginning each engagement by establishing a sustainability-focused vision, typically aligned with the UN Sustainable Development Goals. This "North Star" guides all subsequent work.

What distinguishes Funkar is its integration of visionary thinking with pragmatic delivery. The directors combine complementary expertise—Babar's background spans Unilever, Guardian Media Group and William Grant & Sons, whilst Iram brings experience from the ICA, Warp Films, Slow Food and the London Design Festival. This breadth enables them to navigate complex creative and commercial challenges across sectors.

Funkar serves organisations seeking to embed sustainability into their operations without compromising on creativity or commercial viability. Their client roster includes Nissan, Slow Food, Sherpa, Loop Labs and Information Is Beautiful. Whether developing innovation pipelines, designing programmes, producing events, or overseeing existing projects, the firm excels at bringing together creatives, developers and specialists to execute work efficiently and meaningfully.
