'''Altaf Ahmad Wani''', also known as '''Altaf Kuloo''', (born 1972) is a Kashmiri politician who is a member of the [[Jammu and Kashmir Legislative Assembly]] representing the constituency of [[Pahalgam (Vidhan Sabha constituency)|Pahalgam]].<br />
<br />
He is the only son of Ghulam Rasool Wani, Engineer-turned-politician, was known to people more as a businessman who had an instinct for educational development and started his career by opening a private school in South Kashmir, Delhi Public School, Anantnag. He started political career in 2008 and unsuccessfully contested his first assembly elections on the Jammu & Kashmir National Conference ticket in the same year. He was later nominated as the Member of Legislative Council in 2009.<br />
<br />
Born in an upper-middle class business family in Aishmuqam area of Islamabad, he saw a meteoric rise within the JKNC party in rather a short span of time. Top JKNC sources said Kuloo is in the good books of the party top brass and enjoys the kind of patronage, which other party members with a standing of decades in the party don't have.<ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.kashmirlife.net/a-star-fall-6101/ | title=A Star Fall . |work=[[Kashmir Life]]| date=23 September 2012 | accessdate=6 December 2016 }}</ref> Kuloo was elected to the [[Jammu and Kashmir Legislative Assembly]] constituency of [[Pahalgam]] in 2014.<ref>{{Cite news |url=http://www.ndtv.com/elections/assembly-mlas/jk-pahalgam-election-results-2014 |title=Altaf Ahmad Wani Won |work=NDTV Elections |access-date=6 December 2016}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |url=http://www.nyoooz.com/kashmir/26116/pahalgam-to-witness-triangular-contest |title=Pahalgam to witness triangular contest |date=13 December 2014 |work=NYOOOZ |accessdate=6 December 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161221101828/http://www.nyoooz.com/kashmir/26116/pahalgam-to-witness-triangular-contest |archive-date=21 December 2016 |url-status=dead }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.myneta.info/jk2014/candidate.php?candidate_id=535 |title=Altaf Ahmad Wani |publisher=Association for Democratic Reforms}}</ref><br />
