Uncertainty and rattling circumstances might be unsettling for many, but not me. With the technological background and entrepreneurial journey I believe in adding real value to consumers through innovative and cutting-edge solutions, challenges excite me. Underlying a similar vision, working in the technology industry, specifically in product management and business development/growth roles, also adding my values to the Pakistan startup ecosystem by supporting startups and building communities through the network. I contributed to the growth of multiple startups, from incubation to commercialization. One of my proudest achievements was spearheading the successful launch of Wonder Women and drove the company from pre-revenue to revenue growth within the first 10 months.

I have a strong background in program management and entrepreneurship support, with a focus on fostering startup growth and facilitating early-stage ventures. My experience includes leading the Digital Literacy Program, funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, where I trained over 10,000 women in digital, financial, business, and life skills. Additionally, I have contributed to international projects, such as the Program Migration & Diaspora (PMD) project with GIZ, where I developed materials for safe migration pathways to Germany.

My expertise extends to product management, coordination, and project scheduling, gained from roles at Intelsys.se and Wurker.ai. I have successfully organized community events and large-scale entrepreneurial competitions, showcasing my leadership and organizational skills. Moreover, I secured a grant worth USD 35,000 for the Innovator Seed Fund, highlighting my ability to secure and manage resources effectively.

I hold a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science (BSCS) from the University of Central Punjab, Lahore, obtained in 2020. This educational background has equipped me with a strong foundation in computer science, which I have complemented with practical experience in program management, entrepreneurship support, and international collaboration. My academic knowledge in computer science forms a valuable basis for my work in diverse professional roles.
