While studying, Khan began his career at Flex-N-Gate, an automotive manufacturing company, eventually rising to the position of engineering director after completing his education.

This acquisition significantly bolstered Khan’s presence and influence in the automobile industry. Subsequently, after achieving substantial success with his ventures, Khan was granted US citizenship in 1991.
