Early life and education edit
Ajmal was born on 1 July 1986 in Mumbai, Maharashtra, to a Bengali Muslim family from Hojai in central Assam. The family trace their origins to the Sylhet district of eastern Bengal.[2] His grandfather, Haji Ajmal Ali, was a rice farmer who moved to Mumbai in 1950 to try to succeed in the perfume industry using the oud plant. After the opening of the first store in the 1960s, the Ajmal perfume brand quickly grew to become a large brand in the Middle East.[3] Ajmal's father, Badruddin Ajmal, is the founder of the All India United Democratic Front political party and the president of the Jamiat Ulema-e-Assam.[4]
Ajmal completed his Fazil certification from Darul Uloom Deoband in 2008.[1]
