Why should all tech news be just focused on the USA/Canada/Australia/Europe regions? That's what The Geeky Nomads have set out to change. Meet Yasser Masood and Gazanfarulla Khan - third-culture millennials (born in the GCC citizens of India hailing from the city of Hyderabad) spanning the USA and Qatar who want to keep you informed on all the quirky things that revolve around technology, consumer gadgets, social media, and digital-related topics across the Middle East and North Africa region (sometimes even in South Asia as well). If it's global, we want to emphasize the regional relevance.
