About

Startup Ecosystem Enabler, Public Speaker, and Tech Geek who is passionate about building communities and creating a dynamic ecosystem that fosters innovation and growth. Here are some key highlights: - Hosting Spotify's first-ever gig in Pakistan and securing a partnership with Spotify & Orbit Startups. - five years of experience in the startup and technology industry (Mentored 31+ startups) - I assisted PITB in establishing an incubator at Mehran University of Engineering & Technology. - Won the Best Promising Young Incubator award by UBI-Global in 2019 for Mehran University of Engineering & Technology. - Developed and implemented training programs for the Kamyab Jawan Programme by PM. - Hosted a YouTube podcast called "Out of Syllabus." - Delivered 80+ sessions/talks as a speaker. My background started in content, community, and startup ecosystem work, then moved into incubation, partnerships, product growth, and SaaS product marketing. So I’m strongest in roles where product, marketing, users, and growth overlap. I can understand the user journey, find where people are stuck, turn that into clearer messaging or product work, and coordinate with teams to actually ship improvements.
