#Jobs#Entrepreneurship
A company isn’t built on code or just the strategy, it’s built on belief. Every founder should personally connect with the people building alongside them.
Not as employees, but as co-architects of the vision.
Culture lives in stories, not slide decks.

What an unforgettable evening in Islamabad!
The K2preneur premiere of ‘The Summit of Shadows’ gathered a vibrant audience eager to witness our journey. I’m deeply thankful to Ms. Romina Khurshid Alam, Coordinator to the Prime Minister on Climate Change, and the distinguished faculty of FAST, my alma mater, for their gracious support.
Heartfelt gratitude to the representatives from PASHA, PSEB, SIFC, and other industry leaders, whose presence truly elevated the event. A special thanks to the national and international media for their invaluable coverage and for amplifying our message.
It was an honor to share this journey with such a remarkable group, whose support and dedication drive meaningful progress for our nation.
Some people leave an everlasting impact on our lives, and for me, Dr. Summaira Sarfraz, Director at FAST University, is one of them. As my English teacher, she believed in me during a challenging phase of my life and gave me the confidence to overcome my fears.
Revisiting FAST University and reconnecting with her was truly special. Walking through those corridors reminded me of how far I’ve come and the power of guidance and support. Discussing future collaborations between Devsinc and FAST feels like a full-circle moment, a chance to give back to an institution that played a pivotal role in shaping my journey.
Here’s to honoring the mentors who inspire us and to building opportunities that shape the future of IT in Pakistan.
Had the privilege of conducting a guest session at Beaconhouse National University (BNU), organized by the School of Media and Mass Communication. Spoke on entrepreneurship, ‘From Zero to One,’ and was inspired by the energy, ideas, and enthusiasm of the students. Grateful for the opportunity to connect with passionate young minds and incredible faculty—looking forward to more such meaningful interactions!
Recent discovery: learning never stops, especially when your team has you standing in front of a green screen, striking poses that make you question your life choices. Apparently, it’s all part of 'the art.' Tou bus, trust kerain, agay barhain.
Do what makes you laugh—whether it’s a silly joke, a ridiculous song, or just enjoying the little absurdities of life. Be the person who lightens the mood and brings a smile, even if it’s just your own. Life’s too short to take it too seriously!
