"I started out as an innovator, and only gradually did I become an inventor," Waseem Ashraf Qureshi told a group of ambitious engineers at an electrical engineer's summit in early 2019. Today, with 11 patents under his belt and another four on the way, the man behind WRL Technologies Inc. can be considered a pioneering force in the energy storage and dissemination industries. He has made it his mission to spread the message of innovation and its transformative effect on both people and the world around us, into the lifeblood of the new generation. 
This is the story of a curious mind of young Waseem Ashraf Qureshi who was born and bred in an energy-starved country, and set about tinkering with electronics from a very early age. 
His experiments started bearing fruit when, at the tender age of just 15, he bagged the Presidential Award for Excellence for his innovations. This milestone sparked his passion, and he started dreaming bigger. 
This was his Eureka moment; he henceforth set about on a path to pursue innovation not just through his own experiments, but by recruiting other curious minds as well, working on a myriad of projects and businesses. 
Over the next 30 years, Waseem's vision crystalised into what is today known as WRL Technologies Inc., a global conglomerate of innovation-based energy storage and management. The spark he discovered at a young age is now shared by hundreds of people under the WRL banner, harnessing the power of electricity and streamlining it for a better, brighter world. 
WRL prides itself on being a company of innovators and is the face of an international corporation of technology verticals spread across the globe. Dedicated to bringing ever-smarter technology to every person on earth and improve people's lives through meaningful innovations, they pride on practical applications that constantly benefit customers and add value to society through diverse industries such as electricity, transport, agriculture, industries and homes. 
The company has far-reaching effects on every aspect of business and society, at the cutting edge of technological breakthroughs and their widespread implications on every aspect of others' lives. In the B2B space, WRL serves segments like Telecom, Medical, Industrial and Corporate for their power storage and management needs. WRL is dedicated to introducing innovative products and systems that optimise energy efficiency and create a sustainable future at an accessible cost.  
WRL aspires to lead the world with innovative technology and imperative sustainable energy storage solutions in the 21st century to make this world a better place. 
The goal is to create technology that solves big, energy-related problems and deliver better solutions in power, transportation, industrial, commercial and residential applications in regions with energy scarcity.
Waseem's latest technological breakthrough, a super-capacitor-based energy storage system, is set to stir a revolution in how we manage and consume electricity. The super-capacitors are capable of more than 10 times the power density and over 1,000 times the lifecycle compared to prevalent lithium-ion battery technology, making this innovation a paradigm shift for the electric-augmented world we live in today.  
WRL's products are an expression of research-backed innovation and create practical solutions to revamp the vision of our collective future. Major breakthroughs in the current state of technology serve their dedicated approach towards the global energy crisis: high-performance, cost-effective, and efficient innovations reducing the load on the environment. 
Now perched atop a global tech empire, stretching all the way from the continental United States through China, Pakistan, and onto UAE, Waseem's ambitions show no signs of slowing down. "One day an electric company will be coming, zapping up energy into your home systems, and providing you energy at your doorsteps," he envisions, sprinkled with the promise and wonder that only inventors like him possess. 
Towards this vision, some notable innovations are:
Super-capacitor-based energy storage systems that are efficient, low-maintenance, work in a wide range of temperatures and can charge and discharge under a few minutes. These capacitors have made breakthroughs in energy density of 18kg/KWh at cell level, constantly improving and being integrated into complex power management systems.
Our Battery-less True Online UPS (BLU) is another of our ambitious offerings, where super-capacitors are used for energy storage for both standard and long duration applications.
Next in line is our Intelligent Hybrid Solar System for efficient solar conversions and backup autonomy. The integration of super-capacitor energy storage into WRL's inventions empowers customers in getting seamless operations for decades, while optimising operational expenses.  
Making strides in the technology sector, WRL Technologies Inc. is a global company with a proven track record of innovative technology and sustainable alternatives for energy storage and dissemination solutions. With corporate headquarters based in New York, advanced research labs in Dubai, regional offices in Pakistan, and manufacturing facilities at Guangzhou, WRL is triumphantly on the bleeding edge of global energy storage and management in five different continents. 
The company consistently makes breakthroughs in industrial design by producing devices and solutions with a small physical and environmental footprint, perfect protection functions, strong compatibility, and safety features that guarantee reliability.
As we stand today, Waseem's work and its impact on everyday life is prolific. He is, at heart, a true scientist, and you can still find him in his lab tinkering on and experimenting with the next big thing.
With people like Waseem Ashraf Qureshi and companies like WRL Technologies Inc. amidst us, this imaginative future is no longer the domain of science fiction films.
