Basim is also the co-founder of Global Risk Insights (GRI), a world leading publication providing political risk analysis for the business community. GRI was described by the former President of the London School of Economics (LSE) as an “invaluable resource.”

GRI has a team of over 600 young and rising stars based around the world, ranging from PhD students, rising thought leaders, former presidential advisors, diplomats to professors.
