Ilyas Majeed Sheikh is a renowned entrepreneur, motivational speaker, and prolific writer, committed to the progress and empowerment of Pakistan and its youth. As the Founder and Chairman of the Eagle Group of Companies, he leads with a vision of innovation, growth, and excellence, transforming Pakistan’s real estate and business landscape.
A Legacy of Real Estate Excellence
His journey in the real estate sector began in 2004 when Malik Riaz recognized his potential and gifted him
Eagle Estate, marking the beginning of his entrepreneurial success.
Inspired by the eagle’s resilience, vision, and ability to rise above challenges, he named his company
Eagle Estate, embodying these principles in his business strategy.
Although he belonged to a wealthy family, Ilyas Majeed Sheikh did not receive any share from his family inheritance. He started his career with just Rs. 200—his pocket money—relying solely on his determination, strategic thinking, and relentless ambition to build a real estate empire. Over the years, he has delivered several groundbreaking projects that have set new industry benchmarks.
Major Achievements

Beyond Business: A Commitment to Pakistan’s Growth
Beyond real estate, Sheikh Ilyas Majeed is a passionate advocate for national development. As a motivational speaker and writer, he actively shares insights on entrepreneurship, youth empowerment, and socio-economic progress, inspiring the next generation of leaders.
His philosophy is deeply rooted in the teachings of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)—
“Choose for your brother what you choose for yourself”—and in the vision of Allama Muhammad Iqbal. These values drive his commitment to uplifting society through ethical business practices and transformative projects.
